Build Grape Trellis Fence

This idea comes from the whole backyard jungle i love a wild food forest.

Build grape trellis fence.

Another favorite way for a grape arbor is growing grapes up already exiting trees. For muscadine grapes each of the arms should have at least 10 feet to spread out so the plants will be spaced 20 feet from one another. First examine the location you would like to install the trellis. Instructions step 1 take measurements.

Step 2 build the trellis wood frame. Dig 2 foot deep post holes 8 feet apart for every grape vine you will plant. Things needed spray paint post hole digger or soil auger 2 treated wood posts 9 feet long 6 inch diameter shovel level garden hose treated wood posts 8 feet long 4 inch diameter tape measure pencil 1 4 inch drill bit electric drill galvanized wire number 11 gauge fence staples hammer wire. Leave about 1 4 inch of the screw protruding from the post.

Step 3 attach the remesh panel to wood frame. Most often we don t need to. I also planted lavender around the base because we have rodents. A large fence line is great for trellising grapes so long as you prune and maintain.

Thread your wire through the holes and run the wire down the outside of the outermost posts. Clear the area where you plan to build the grape fence. This is a super easy backyard grape trellis you can build. Check out how to plant muscadine grapes.

Using a saw cut the wood 2x2s to the desired size. We re using our 8 foot elk fence line to trellis for our grapevines. 2 tie a string onto two stakes. With the single wire high cordon trellis each grapevine will have two arms spreading in opposite directions.

Screw two stainless steel screws about an inch apart on the outside of the outermost posts. Place the posts in the brackets using scrap timber as braces plumb the posts in both directions with your spirit level and nail the braces to pegs banged into the ground. All you need is a couple of sturdy wooden posts a fence panel or tough wire mesh and these handy things. Remove any large rocks and bushes from the area.

Start off by initially plumbing and straightening the posts on either end of the trellis or lattice fence.
