can i use this for a trellis for grapes?

I have used it as a "wire alone" for some woody plants already established. it's strong yet pliable. for a trellis I'd suggest a larger gauge wire for the best results. or even go to your hardware store and getsome plastic rope / twine.

I would say you could. Does not rust and is very easy to bend and shape. I have used this twice for an electric fence and very please with it.

Don't. 17 gauge is pretty small. It's going to break if you pull it tight enough to hold up grapes. Something more like 12 gauge will work a lot better for that purpose.

This is rust proof aluminum wire. It is relatively strong and capable of being stretched without breaking but is not nearly as strong as steel or even copper. I think it would be fine for grapes but may not last long as long as galvanized or other support.

I would say no because, while it suited to its intended purpose it does have only so much tensile strength, it does stretch some when animals get caught up in it and have had to restring my wire a few times. It seems to be made of a softer aluminum that wouldn't stand up to vines hanging from the wire.

I would guess so. This would only support the center, it the rose is really leggy, they will hang. I think this would would be good for a tall rose plant, but perhaps not a climbing rose bush where you generally tie up the peripheral branches to a trellis. I don't know though, it is sturdy enough for whatever you want to try, if you know how your plant will grow. It would look very elegant with a rose. Sorry for the non-committal response, lol. I hope I was somewhat helpful. :)

I would say yes, if you are cutting green stalks or fresh growth. I am assuming you have less than a dozen vines. I have a small vineyard, over 200 Niagara and New York Muscat vines and produce about 2,000# a year. I prune mine by hand using an anvil hand pruner as I walk the rows daily, or If I let them go for a couple of weeks, my electric hedge trimmer. I use the LR-3460 to clip, hold and retrieve water plants in my pond. Also on my Wisteria, Rose and Trumpet Vine arbors. Both the Rose and Trumpet vine have new green stalks 1/4" and smaller. The older trumpet vines are woody those larger than " can be hard to cut. In my experience woody or harder skinned plants can require a double cut and can cause the cutter heap to jamb closed. Keeping the cutter head cleaned and sharp can help to reduce this problem but does not totally eliminate it. In my experience I find this tool is useful when the job is small and requires finesse and reach. I would not use this tool to "Get the Job Done" or say when the job will require more than one hour to complete.

No way....the grid cannot be adjusted small enough to stop the seeds of berries. Even grape seed can go thru on the tightest setting.

Anything you can stake in the ground securely that will support the trellis netting will work. You can purchase wood stakes or even use electrical conduit to build a simple frame. You can also use it with existing structures such as a wall or fence. There are many ideas for using garden netting in the ebook that you have access to after your purchase: 5 Creative Ways to Use Trellis Netting. I hope this helps.

No I wouldn't as the weigh of the flower box might twist or distort the vinyl railings. I would get the flower box that sits on the railing. It's made for 4" and 6" railings

I would use the berry screen. The holes are smaller and will catch the grape seeds.

I put two posts into the ground about 12 inches and attached the trellis to the two posts rather than try to attach it to the stucco wall of my house because I wanted a bit of breathing space between wall and trellis. The air space keeps the plant from developing fungal diseases. I'm sure you could use masonry screws to attach it but I didn't try that.

I don't see any problem, unless rose stems are too stiff to train around legs. I use them for mandevilla vines ... cold probably do the same for clematis.

This is a vine that needs support, like a trellis. It will send out runners that climb and twine. So as big as your trellis is, it will grow and you will weave new growth in.

I would assume not because they are designed for wine bottles. However, I do not know first hand. I use mine for an outdoor bottle tree.

Yes if you buy the ones for 8 and 9 gauge wire they work great. I put up grape and raspberry trellis's and I would buy them again.

Absolutely. I have 3 all attached to the railing of my deck and use them for hanging flowers during summer and bird feeders in winter. I made sure to use deck screws to secure them to the railing. Good luck.

Hi, I bought one and am quite satisfied. It comes with substantial footings that you can sink into the ground to stabilize the trellis. I didn't use them because mine is agains a wall and I secured it to the wall. The 90 inches is just for the trellis, and does not include the footings. Be careful to follow the instructions in the proper sequence.

I am quite sure that you will not be successful putting rebar into the "holes" of the bamboo used in this trellis. (Diameter &gt; 1/2")I've had success attaching the trellis to an existing fence as an extension. I use piano wire to attach the trellis to the fence. Hope this helps, its a nice product.

I built a wire trellis about 2 feet wide and planted the seeds at the bottom. This particular seed will grow like a vine. As long as there is something to climb on, it will continue to grow.

It may depend on how you secure it to the building but I think it will work, if strongly secured. I have large confederate jasmine vines on mine.
