graibeard's Grape Pergola garden

Garden Type: Hanging | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Sand I'm Organic!

A place to rest and ponder.

Where the chook shed once was is now a paved area with a steel pergola made from numerous scrounged lengths of galvanised and painted steel. Trellis is wire spaced at 300mm centers, it’s 2mm galvanised wire tensioned with 6mm turn-buckles and will hopefully do the trick later when the vine has grown to cover.
Currently it has shade cloth attached to the wire to provide some protection from the sun.

As it stands now – spring 2009
After welding, painting and cursing the mess.
Assembled – stage 1. It was modified to take the trellis wires sometime after this, the aim was to get the grapes planted and the area somewhat clear – scoff-
