I got tired of remaking my sisal trellice every season, and didn’t like using nylon netting, so I went with something more long term. The downside? Vine removal in the fall will likely be a slog.

    im not a gardener or have any experience in gardening. but can you just use steel wire vertically and nylon horizontally so when the time to trim them down you just cut (i assume you use some kind of power tool) vertically along the steel wire?

      The PVC structure is what supported the nylon. Cutting down the nylon is exactly what I did the first year, but the nylon was rotting in the sun (when you touched it it would discentigratr) and I didn’t like having to throw everything away. Sisal was nice in that it composts, but since no one sells a (cheap) sisal net I spent hours making my own.
