Concepts of deployable structures can also be used to construct interesting domestic structures with intriguing features. Pictured here are a series of novel trellises derived from Zhong's research. These trellises can make your gardern very different from others.
Like ordinary trellis, all the trellises shown here can be folded into a cpmpact boundle.
Unlike ordinary trellis, you may not able to buy there anywhere at the moment. If you are interested in the concepts, please contact with Zhong.
