You will need a very strong trellis to grow a grape vine on and, if you actually want grapes, you need to prune back each year.

apserlutly know problem . i have an ornimentle grape vine that is all over my back garden and i love it . id say your arch is ideal . maybe you could get a different veriaty each side .

Many thanks for the advice, two types of grapes and years with a pair of secatures it is then.

Um, I disagree - one grapevine is more than enough on such a small arch - they can cover a massive area, so unless you want it spreading over the whole garden, I wouldn't recommend it.

I agree with Bamboo! One grapevine will more than cover an arch like that. In fact, I would look for varieties that take "spur" pruning, since they can be kept smaller than other kinds and still fruit.

if you grow them for fruit you should be able to keep 2 easy . if not then perhaps not as mine is at least a 100 feet long . everyoneto there own i guess .
