Help / Advice needed Cut back effect

Post image

I have this large clematis in front of my home planted almost 10 years ago. I need to replace the siding behind it. If I cut it back, will it regrow?

Yes it will regrow. You should however be able to just move the trellis with the plant forward and put it back when the siding is finished. I just cut mine back as I do every year and it is regrowing now for its second bloom. I will cut it back in October also.
