This included winning two awards for their innovative Rope Trellis, one of which was the prestigious GIMA Sustainability Award.

Treadstone are building a reputation for creating innovative products and wherever possible launching sustainable concepts. Rope Trellis scooped another top prize, achieving Winner & Category Sustainability Champion in the Garden Landscaping category. Rope Trellis was also awarded the Category Sustainability Champion in the Growing, Planting Equipment and Sundries category. Upon awarding Treadstone with the GIMA Sustainability Award for Rope trellis the judges said:

Inspired by cargo nets, Rope Trellis by The Good Life is an alternative to conventional fixed trellis manufactured using a natural jute material. It provides the perfect marriage of user-friendly features and sustainability.

Rope Trellis is available in five sizes (from 6 x 2ft to 6 x 6ft.) that all come supplied rolled up. Each pack is therefore easy to transport home where it can then be unrolled and installed. Rope Trellis is hand-made and tied specifically so that the product hangs tight and straight, giving a consistent sequence of support rope for plants to grip. Furthermore, if the user wants to add colour to the garden, Rope Trellis can be easily stained by dipping the rope in outdoor preservative.

Users can fix it to walls or fences or tie it between two wooden posts to create a stunning garden feature. Retailing from 19.99, installation is quick, and the product can easily be un-installed temporarily for when fencing needs painting or changing, as well as easily transported when moving home.

With other innovative products in their brand portfolio, this is not the first time Treadstone have picked up awards. In fact, Treadstone have been highly commended in recent years by GIMA, Glee and also consumer titles such as Good Housekeeping, BBC Gardeners World Live and Amateur Gardening.
