TriLock Trellis Mounts

Every grow is unique. That’s why we offer options to improve your setup.

Customers looking for a more robust trellising solution can opt for the Botanicare® TriLock™ Trellis Mount Glass-filled ABS, makes these supports 3 times stronger than the standard support while also accepting a wider range of upright diameters (accepts 3/4″ EMT, 3/4″ PVC & 1″ EMT). Note that TriLock adds 2 ⅕” inches to overall system width compared to standard trellising.

When things are tight, standard trellising provides users with a true outside dimension of 4’ and 5’ respectively. Please note that TriLock™ is an optional upgrade for Botanicare® Slide Bench systems using OG Trays.
