This past spring, a cluster of dead Staghorn Sumac trees needed to be removed, and rather than haul them all away, I turned some of them into a useful trellis.
I built the trellis using the same techniques as I used to make this pergola:

Right away, the birds seemed comfortable perching on the "new" trellis, like this Mockingbird who took a quick bath in the nearby fountain before landing to dry his feathers in the sunshine.
Here's a short video of the finished garden area with the trellis and the fountain running.
What could you make with sticks?
Upcycling takes more time than simply buying something new, but reusing cast-off supplies lets you use your imagination and creativity.
And it saves you tons of money!
And you end up with something unique and special.
Happy Creating!
