Trellis


Trellis

I'm not quite finished with this yet (cut the main support pipe a tad short, oops!). The idea is to cover this with fishing net so that the plants can climb on the net. The net will arrive next week if all goes as planned.

Looks interesting,Why don't you use the underside as a shade house,downside might be bugs and debris falling on to the plants below.

That's exactly what I was thinking to do. How nice that you thought of it, too! The sun is pretty intense where I am so shade is always welcome! My plants will have to be pretty well established, most likely, before any amount of shade is produced. I'm a fairly patient person though!

Thanks for your thoughts!

As another thought if that shade was valuable to you,are you familiar with the green greenhouse shading used on glasshouses if a sheet of that was positioned first and your more open one laid over it you would have the best of both worlds instantly.
