Build Grape Trellis Fence

I also planted lavender around the base because we have rodents.

Build grape trellis fence.

With the single wire high cordon trellis each grapevine will have two arms spreading in opposite directions. Remove any large rocks and bushes from the area. A backyard grape vine trellis needs to be strong and withstand the weight. We re using our 8 foot elk fence line to trellis for our grapevines.

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. All you need is a couple of sturdy wooden posts a fence panel or tough wire mesh and these handy things. 8 ft 2x2s wood screws wood glue. Step 3 attach the remesh panel to wood frame.

2 tie a string onto two stakes. 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. Thread your wire through the holes and run the wire down the outside of the outermost posts.

Check out how to plant muscadine grapes. This is a super easy backyard grape trellis you can build. First examine the location you would like to install the trellis. Using a saw cut the wood 2x2s to the desired size.

Clear the area where you plan to build the grape fence. Leave about 1 4 inch of the screw protruding from the post. Instructions step 1 take measurements. Setting the end posts.

This idea comes from the whole backyard jungle i love a wild food forest. Screw two stainless steel screws about an inch apart on the outside of the outermost posts. Most often we don t need to. A large fence line is great for trellising grapes so long as you prune and maintain.

Start off by initially plumbing and straightening the posts on either end of the trellis or lattice fence.
