Build Grape Trellis Fence

Setting the end posts.

Build grape trellis fence.

All you need is a couple of sturdy wooden posts a fence panel or tough wire mesh and these handy things. Place the posts in the brackets using scrap timber as braces plumb the posts in both directions with your spirit level and nail the braces to pegs banged into the ground. First examine the location you would like to install the trellis. Leave about 1 4 inch of the screw protruding from the post.

A backyard grape vine trellis needs to be strong and withstand the weight. Check out how to plant muscadine grapes. Dig 2 foot deep post holes 8 feet apart for every grape vine you will plant. This idea comes from the whole backyard jungle i love a wild food forest.

8 ft 2x2s wood screws wood glue. 2 tie a string onto two stakes. Another favorite way for a grape arbor is growing grapes up already exiting trees. Thread your wire through the holes and run the wire down the outside of the outermost posts.

We re using our 8 foot elk fence line to trellis for our grapevines. Start off by initially plumbing and straightening the posts on either end of the trellis or lattice fence. For muscadine grapes each of the arms should have at least 10 feet to spread out so the plants will be spaced 20 feet from one another. This is a super easy backyard grape trellis you can build.

Step 3 attach the remesh panel to wood frame. With the single wire high cordon trellis each grapevine will have two arms spreading in opposite directions. Instructions step 1 take measurements. Using a saw cut the wood 2x2s to the desired size.

Most often we don t need to. Remove any large rocks and bushes from the area. Clear the area where you plan to build the grape fence. I also planted lavender around the base because we have rodents.
