Costco Garden Trellis | Item #1902442 (Original Steel) & #2127103 (Dragonfly Model) | 6′ Powder-Coated Steel, 23″L x 71¾”H | $19.99 (Original) / $21.99 (Dragonfly) | In-Store Seasonal
Every spring, Costco wheels out the gardening and outdoor section, and tucked in among the wind chimes and garden flags is one of the better quiet deals in the warehouse: a 6-foot powder-coated steel garden trellis for $19.99. It’s big, it’s heavier than you’d expect, and it looks far more expensive than it is. I’ve watched this one come back season after season — sometimes the same model, sometimes a slightly tweaked design — and it tends to disappear off the floor fast once gardening season winds down.

The Two Costco Trellis Models
Costco has rotated this item through at least two designs, and buyers regularly go hunting for the exact one they already own to build a matching set. Here’s how to tell them apart.
Original Steel Trellis — Item #1902442 — $19.99
The classic version. A 6-foot powder-coated steel trellis with branches and leaves woven into the design. It stands just under 6 feet (71¾ inches), and it’s surprisingly heavy when you pick it up — a good sign you’re getting solid steel, not a flimsy garden-center piece. The dark powder-coated finish is built to live outside.
Dragonfly Model — Item #2127103 — $21.99
The newer rotation. It swaps the leaf-and-branch motif for a more curved top with dragonfly detailing and a warmer, gold-toned finish. Same 6-foot steel bones, slightly different look, $2 more. If you’re matching an existing set, note these two are NOT identical — once the new model rotates in, the old one is tough to track down.
Costco Metal Garden Trellis Specs
Here’s the rundown on the original steel trellis (Item #1902442):
- Finish: Powder-coated, built for outdoor use
- Dimensions: 23″L x 71¾”H
- Material: Steel (heavy and solid, not lightweight aluminum)
- Use: Outdoor — though it works just as well indoors for a large climbing houseplant
- Assembly: None required, ready to place
The dragonfly model (Item #2127103) shares the same 6-foot steel build with the decorative differences noted above.
The Price Breakdown: Costco vs. Everyone Else
This is where the Costco trellis earns its keep. A 6-foot decorative steel garden trellis is not a cheap item most places — comparable powder-coated steel pieces routinely run $80 to $150 online.
- Costco Original Steel (Item #1902442) — $19.99: 6-foot powder-coated steel, no assembly, ready to plant. The best price I’ve found on a trellis this size and quality.
- Costco Dragonfly Model (Item #2127103) — $21.99: Same 6-foot steel build, gold-toned finish with dragonfly detail. A $2 premium over the original.
- H Potter Wrought Iron Trellis (online) — $80–$150+: Beautiful, premium pieces — but 4 to 7 times the Costco price for a comparable size.
- Generic Garden-Center Trellis — $30–$60: Often lighter-gauge metal or wood, frequently needs assembly, rarely as substantial as the Costco steel piece.
At $19.99, it’s priced like a disposable garden accessory but built like a keeper. That’s the whole appeal.
Why People Buy Multiples
One thing stands out from buyers who’ve tracked this item over the years: nobody buys just one. Owners report coming back for 4 to 6 more to line a fence, frame a garden bed, or build a privacy screen along a patio. The catch is that Costco rotates the design between seasons, so anyone who waits a year often finds the original gone and a new version (like the dragonfly) in its place.
The lesson from years of buyer reports: if you like the model on the floor and you think you’ll want a matching set, buy them all in one trip. Costco does not restock seasonal gardening items once they sell through, and they pull them quickly and without notice when the season turns.
What to Grow on It
A 6-foot steel trellis like this is built for climbing plants that need vertical support:
- Flowering climbers: Clematis, climbing roses, morning glory, and jasmine will cover it beautifully over a season or two.
- Edibles: Pole beans, peas, cucumbers, and small squash climb readily and turn it into a productive vertical garden.
- Ivy and vines: Classic clematis or ivy will eventually grow up and through the leaf-and-branch design of the original model for a lush, established look.
- Indoor use: Despite the “outdoor use only” label, there’s no reason you can’t anchor this in a large indoor planter for a climbing houseplant. It makes a striking statement piece.
How to Find It at Costco
This is a seasonal, in-store item — Costco does not sell it online, so don’t bother checking Costco.com.
- When to look: It shows up when Costco sets out the spring gardening and outdoor section, typically late winter into spring. Bay Area stores tend to get it early; other regions follow.
- Where to look: Merchandised with the gardening and outdoor items — often near the wind chimes, garden flags, and seasonal decor, frequently back-center of the store with the patio furniture.
- How to confirm stock: Snap a photo of the item number (1902442 or 2127103) and ask an employee to check nearby warehouses. It sometimes doesn’t ring up under a name search, so the item number is your best tool.
- Timing: Once Costco decides to clear gardening items, they do it fast. If you see it and want it (or want several), grab them on the spot.

How much does the Costco garden trellis cost? The original steel model is $19.99 and the dragonfly model is $21.99, both in-store. Prices may vary slightly by region and season.

How tall is the Costco garden trellis? Just under 6 feet — 71¾ inches for the original model.
How much does it weigh? Roughly 10 to 15 pounds based on buyer reports. It’s solid steel, so it’s noticeably heavy for its size — a good sign of build quality.

Will Costco have the same model next year? Not necessarily. Costco has rotated the design between seasons — the original leaf-and-branch model and the newer dragonfly model are different. If you want a matching set, buy what’s on the floor now rather than counting on the same design returning.

How much does this treillis weigh? I can’t find it anywhere
I would say 10-15 pounds. I picked it up in-store, but this was months ago so it’s a really rough estimate. Hope that helps
the Costco store in MN has the Garden Trellis, however it is a different model from 2021. its more gold and more curved at the top with dragon flies item number is 2127103. It does not come up on the website.
I am also looking for 6 more of the 2021 item 1902442
I just saw the new ones in Costco and they are slightly different than last years model. I don’t think you will be able to find last years model unless you find them via 3rd party like Amazon or eBay. Sorry about that
I need 6 more to match. any one have them or have you seen this year
They have them in stock in Sacramento CA seen them today. Price also went up to $21.99
Thanks LC! I haven’t seen them at my local Costco yet, but I’m sure I will soon
Unfortunately Linda, I have not seen these at my Costco this year. That doesn’t mean we won’t be seeing them on the shelves, but I haven’t seen them yet. I’ll keep an eye out and let me know if you find them
Any of these trellis available in Hawaii?
I was actually jus in Hawaii & I’m about 90% sure I saw this item in stock. This would be in Maui. Hope that helps! Let me know if you end up finding it. These will probably be off the shelf soon if there are any left
Are there any of these trellis available in MD still available?
I’m not sure about your location, but they are still in stock in Northern California. I know that doesn’t help, but at least you know they are still selling them. Take a screenshot of the product number & ask your local Costco if they have any at a nearby Costco. Hope you find one!
Thursday 2022-05-19: spotted a dozen or more at the Beltsville MD location; this product is NOT FOUND via the name or inventory number (“STEEL GARDEN TRELLIS” 2127103 at $21.99); look for these in the back mid-store in the gardening & outdoor furniture area (the merchandise is placed to find it: you will be facing the front of the store, and your back will be towards the rear of the store).
Russ W.
Thanks Russel. I also saw these in-store too. They were with all the gardening items as you have stated. I just checked Costco.com & they do not carry this specific Trellis. They do have a few alternatives for anyone interested.
Are there any of these trellises in Sarasota, Bradenton, St. Pete or Clearwater area of Fla? If not, will they be available again?
I’m not 100% sure about that area. You’re best bet is to either call the store directly or go in. Ask them about this specific model by using the model number above. They should be able to tell you when / where they are located. FYI…they are still in stock at my local Costco’s in the Bay Area, CA
which costco location?
I found this in the Bay Area, CA. I’ve seen them in stock for a few weeks now. Are you having trouble finding this?
Yes I want 4 of them n none of them have them in pa or nj
I keep seeing them consistently at my local Costco’s. They have them at all 4 near me. Did you see them at all this year? I wonder if they don’t stock them at your Costco for some reason. Unfortunately they are not available online right now
Are there any trellises left?
h
Yes….I was at Costco today & I saw both the Trellis & the Wind Chimes. They are located next to each other in the outdoor product section of Costco. I hope you are able to find one.
