Awesome! Glad to hear it. What will you be growing up your trellis?

I made this exactly as described this morning. Came out perfect! I used 12g wire. I may add another post to make it 20ft in the spring

I did this yesterday and it came out great. Rather than using 4x4s, I felled a white oak tree of similar dimension and peeled the bark off and used them as the posts. It looks beautiful. It might rot more quickly but it looks good and it was free!

Hi Liz, yes I would add more posts if you plan on building a longer wire trellis. How many posts will depend on a few things such as how deeply the posts are buried, what kind of plants will be growing up it(ie the weight), how much wind it needs to withstand etc. For a 20ft long row I would probably put a post every 6 to 8 feet, similar to the spacing you would see in a wooden fence.
