Climbing tub plants are best kept on the house wall. There you will find support to grow in height. However, they often do not come into their own in the sheltered place. By building your own plant pot with integrated trellis, you can place the tall plants anywhere you like.
For some plants, vertical sticks are sufficient for climbing

tips
Planters with trellis are ideal as privacy screens for your terrace.
layout
To adapt the trellis to the rest of the garden design, you can spray or paint it as you wish. Make sure that you use non-toxic and weather-resistant paint. However, keep in mind that your vine will eventually overgrow much of the trellis, so you should consider whether it's really worth the effort. However, if you plant your self-made planter with annual or deciduous plants, the trellis will be bare in winter. Then painting is recommended.
