Unlurking here....

Sorry, but I have to put in my two cents worth.

I have a total of six PVC trellises and this will be the 4th summer for them. 
 I used 1.5 inch pipe and some connectors and my trellises are about 6 feet 
tall.  I use twine or string or whatever.  I rarely remove any foliage and I 
know there is a lot of weight on these trellises.  I've only had one come 
apart, partway through the season, during a huge storm that took out six foot 
diameter trees,  and the trellises stayed standing.  All I had to do was slip 
the coupler back on and then I used some twine and tied it so it wouldn't 
come apart again.

I painted my trellises green for looks.  All in all I'm very pleased with 
them.

If someone wants more info about my construction.  I will gladly help out, 
but just be warned that I'm a little incommunicado just now.  I'm expecting 
my first child any day now and I haven't been getting to my mail on a very 
regular basis.  

Oh, and I have my seedlings started and have almost 100% germination on 
almost everything.  LOL   Seedlings are happy in the basement till they can 
be planted out sometime in mid-May.

Later,
Denese (near Cincinnati, OH)
