    Very nice, have you considered a trellis for the canes to lean on?

      It’s wholly inadequate for the task at hand, but yeah haha.

      I’ll be fixing it this weekend hopefully after my steroid shots this week.

        I’ve had good luck making my trellis out of electrical conduit, a 90° bender and some non-trade connectors to make t-joints. I just wish I had gone with the bigger 3/4 inch diameter EMT pipe.

          Emts not a bad idea, got loads at my shop. The rigid is great since you can thread it, and it supports itself decently too.

          If anything I’ll just screw some boards in to hold the metal grid better. It’s just supported by some bamboo stakes as an emergency fix.

          I’ve got ideas to use some pvc for my garden critter guards, so wouldn’t be much to get some lengths for a trellis for this. Still learning as I go, which is awesome.

          I’m really liking that way this arches over though, I think I’ll make sure whatever I do isn’t too tall so it can continue to do this.
