STEP 2: ATTACHING THE SECOND SIDE PANEL
Stand the first frame, with pyramid cap attached, onto its base. Place a second frame, with
Moving around to face the second side frame, line up its top right edge against the side of the first frame, with the pyramid cap resting on the top (Diagram 2).

stub. Then drive the second screw, taking care to |

hold the pyramid snugly against the frame top. |

Holding the two trellis pieces firmly |

together at the corner and squarely |

STEP 3: COMPLETING THE ASSEMBLY
Add the remaining two trellis panels in the same manner. You can secure the sides together at the corners as you progress or wait until all sides have been attached to the cap.
NOTE: This pyramid is sufficiently sturdy for its purpose of supporting growing plants, but it is not intended to support concentrated weight on its
While pyramids are inherently stable, we recommend anchoring your trellis in place. The easiest way is to tie it to at least two stakes at the corners.
