Maybe you didn't catch how I used clamps on the horizontal line so that when it is staked down to the ground, it doubles as a guy wire to hold the poles outward. It also helped to install the poles leaning outward a bit. Separate guy wires is fine too.
I just did something similar using your project as a base. I cemented the bases in I figured it would be faster and easier. I only cemented halfway in case anyone wanted to cut the base off someday.
I could only get the 10 ft poles which I bolted together. After I had the main line up the poles had significant bend inward. Although they would probably handle a full load they would look pretty unstable. So I attached guy wires from the top to anchors connected with turnbuckles. Thanks.
Yo. I like your setup but am having trouble finding the stuff. Where did you get the 20ft fence posts (and are they 1")? Thank you for the instructions.
For the longer 21' poles, you'd have to go to a fence supply. HD and Lowes only carry them in 10' but you can put two of them together. They are just under 1.5" in diameter and that's why they slip into 1.5" rigid pipe.
I did just about the exact same thing... I used 2' pvc pipe into the ground, the same fence post, the same eye-hook, and even the same top line. I had a big problem with the poles bending in, so I ended up pulling them and cementing in 16' 4x4's instead, added a wench pulley and it totally rocked.
Unfortunately, I might move, so I'm going to have to redo it again, and I think this time I might do 2 T's w/ 4x4's and line them up in a row running north/south. Right now, I did the same as you did, I had them in a row facing south, but running east/west.
I just have them in the freezer waiting to be used in some brew. I think the total harvest was about 1.5 pounds after drying which is good for about 30 gallons of beer give or take.
I didn't do anything to protect the hops in the pots over the winter. They seem to be extremely hearty and none have sustained any damage as far as I can tell.
Like it! question, you said that you kept your hops in pots when you got them, I have my hops in pots but am concered about this upcoming winter, did you take them indoors for the winter or just cover them and forget about them until its spring time? Thanks for all your videos i love watching!
4 kegs on tap and 6 different styles in bottles ready to drink! keep brewing and dont worry have a homebrew!
my question is not related with your this video but i want to ask ,how can i malt the grain is that would be too much job to malt the grain because in my country Turkmenistan there is no multing companies and to import the malt is expensive ,so do you have any idea about that maybe i can buy pilot mulsing system?

Just curious, i like your design, how does it hold up in the wind, and having had it for a while, how do you like it?

So far so good. No wind problems at all.

What is the process for training the vine? Thanks

Just wrap it up the climbing twine in the same direction the sun travels, being careful not to snap the vine.

I like it. I was going to build something like the Andy Sparks trellis in BYO recently but this looks promising too.
