Not really a trellis as such, but more of a fishing line path for the hops. The idea was so give a bit of greenery to the front of the house. Unfortunately it is east facing so misses a lot of afternoon sun.

I've got chinook growing either side of the window, goldings growing along the fence and cascade around the main entrance.

Awesome setup Wilko.
Thanks mate. I wanted to have the height, but also wanted it easy to harvest. It also supplies a bit of shade for the vegie garden during the middle of summer.

Looks like you have plenty of room to move,is what's in the pic your patch ?
Yeah mate, we've got the block next door too. The vegie garden area isn't all that big though.
 
I have 2 like this. They're about 6 metres tall. Eye bolt at the top so the ropes can be lowered for harvesting. I set a short length of a slightly larger size steel in the ground in concrete so that the poles can be removed when not needed. You can see the other pole laying along the fence. In reality the poles stay there year round as I don't really have anywhere else to store them. It does make it easier to replace the ropes though.

Thanks mate. Got the steel through my sister in law"s work and welded them up.
 
I was running a horizontal trellis, but decided to go vertical.. Made this teepee using pool poles, 4.1m extended from memory. $29 each. DSC_0240-1024x1820.JPG
