How to build a trellis?

[dj1701]

I have some berry plants coming and need to build a trellis. Just wondering how others have done this.

Thanks

In my garden, I just put two posts at the end and a couple T posts along the line, then attached some 2x4 welded wire. Works for beans too!!!

I've thought about building a tripod to go over the plant, but haven't done it yet. My plan is to cut some Cedar Branches off of a tree and use three of them to form a TeePee type tripod for the plant to climb up.

Thanks, I was thinking of going with t-posts and wire. I remember my dad had some devices that you pushed a wire through, and it would not come back out. Kind of like Chinese handcuffs. I can't for the life of me remember what they are called.

I would have a look at high tensile wire fence accessories for things like this; I would poke around with words like wire end fasteners

Agtec Fastvise Wire End Fastener

These heavy duty, no-slip metal wire fasteners are used for attaching wire to end posts. The metal inner springs clamp wire inserted through its center, preventing any from being pulled back through.

You might also try wire railing accessories for end grips.

All the best,

Wirevise is what I googled. Think I even have some laying around.

I built this trellis like thing for the wife's climbing Columbine. Quick, easy, cheep and when covered with the plants and blooms - almost completely invisible. Look behind the farm wagon. Click on the picture - that's plain old chicken wire stretched across the plastic pipe.
