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.

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 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.

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.

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?

@brianmsavoie
So far so good. No wind problems at all.

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.

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.
