== Fretty and trellisé ==

A field ''fretty'' is composed of bendlets and bendlets-sinister or ''scarps'', interleaved over one another to give the impression of a trellis. Although almost invariably the bendlets and scarpes are of the same tincture, there is an example in which they are of two different metals.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://archive.gg.ca/heraldry/pub-reg/project-pic.asp?lang=e&ProjectID=49&ProjectElementID=156 |website=The Public Register of Arms, Flags and Badges of Canada |title=The Nova Scotia International Tattoo Society}}</ref> It is rare for the number of pieces of the fretty to be specified, though this is sometimes done in French blazon. The bendlets and bendlets sinister are very rarely anything other than straight, as in the arms of David Robert Wooten, in which they are raguly.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.armorial-register.com/arms-es/wooten-dr-arms.html |title=David Robert Wooten |website=The Armorial Register - International Register of Arms}}</ref> Objects can be placed in the position of the bendlets and bendlets sinister and described as ''fretty of'', as in the arms of the [[Muine Bheag]] Town Commissioners: ''Party per fess or fretty of blackthorn branches leaved proper and ermine, a fess wavy azure''.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000544628#page/17/mode/1up |title=Grants and Confirmations of Arms Volume Y Folios 51-100; 1999-2000 |type=Digitized manuscript |at=Folio 58, page 17}}</ref> ''Square fretty'' is similarly composed of barrulets and pallets.<ref>{{cite web |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070910073824/http://www.theheraldrysociety.com/resources/leonardjohnweaver.htm |archive-date=September 10, 2007 |url= http://www.theheraldrysociety.com/resources/leonardjohnweaver.htm |title=The Heraldry Society - members' arms:Leonard John Weaver}}</ref>

''Trellisé'' appears in the arms of Luc-Normand Tellier, where it consists of ''bendlets, bendlets sinister, and barrulets'' interlaced.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://archive.gg.ca/heraldry/pub-reg/project-pic.asp?lang=e&ProjectID=2017&ProjectElementID=7038 |website=The Public Register of Arms, Flags and Badges of Canada |title=Luc-Normand Tellier}}</ref> These are not, strictly speaking, variations of the field, since they are depicted as being on the field rather than in it.
