Title: Need Ideas - Grapvine Supports
Post by: the_Journeyman on May 09, 2014, 07:17:35 AM
I have a couple grapevines that I need to get onto a support of some time.  I don't have a ton of space, but I just need to get them up off the flower beds below.  I can do a simple post by each one with something in between easy enough, but something different/unique would be better.

You could make an arch out of two motorcycle frames.

Join them at the head tubes, and then mount it via the subframes at an appropriate height with a post at each end.

That would be interesting!!!  It's be really cool with a couple trellis frames too.  I'll have to stick to wood though, I can't weld. 

I'll add this is likely something I'm going to do tonight or tomorrow morning, so it's gotta be stuff I can get quick.

Make a small replica of a local famous bridge.

Now that might be doable, we've got some neat bridges around.
