I want to attatch a trellis to the brick chimney in my front yard (Climbing roses will be planted there). What is the best way to secure this trellis without damaging the brick and/or mortar?

Concrete anchors don't really damage anything. Also there are good masonary adhesives out there that you can buy. I would go with the anchor though, even one 1/4 inch whole will be unnoticeable and will have a great deal of strength. 5/16 even better for strength, but plenty strong for a trellis.

The best and most secure way, would be to use a special brick drill and plastic plug, to fasten the trellis. If that is not feasible, suggest you use some heavy duty marine type adhesive. In either case, the rose vines will grow into the mortar over time, and may cause some deterioration. Another thought, you may consider some type of hook which could reach over the chimney lip, and support a few guide wires, with side to side fasteners. Best wishes

Fran what I have read above is all a bit confusing for a beginner. On each length of trellis there will be, maybe a "flat foot" with maybe 4 screw holes. If this is the case make a template of this, with a piece of cardboard. Position the trellis on the wall and mark the wall with a pencil where the plate will be fixed. Using your template, position it on the wall where you have marked it with the pencil., I hope you are following, Drill the 4 holes for the screws, insert the plastic plug and then the screws, job done. If there are no spacers on you trellis, I suggest you fix a wooden batten to the wall first, say about 2x1" you may then need to drill holes through the trellis frame for the screws, the batten will give you the space for your plants to grow up behind . Hope this helps.

You are going to have to drill some holes. I would use lead or plastic mollys in the mortar joints. If you don't have a hammer drill a regular drill should do fine in the soft mortar. Be sure to space the trellis away from the bricks a little.

The most secure way to attach anything like a trellis to brick is with anchors installed in the brick. even then a strong wind can tear them loose. I have shutters on the brick of my house, and the wind got under the shutter and pulled it off the wall, anchor and all. other than the lead anchor, you could try something like "gorilla glue", or ask at the local Home Depot or Lowe's.

You could lean it against the chimney and fasten it from both sides to the house itself if the house siding is wooden clapboard ... just an idea..
peace
