Do you have any old metal poles - try Walmart or a camping supply store for tent poles for now. It's getting towards the end of the selling season for this stuff, bet you can find them on sale somewhere. Try using rope/string to hold it all together - or just for now, try duct tape. What the heck, to save your plants I'd be going with duct tape.

Thanks ladies! You are awesome!! I had thought of using some kind of posts...love the copper pipe idea....but wasn't sure how to attach the old to the new. I should have known...good old duct tape. LOL I think my vine is fine....just going to be fun to put the whole thing back up!

Don't feel bad, dumb me planted one on my lamp post. I knew better, but just wanted to try it. After a couple of seasons during the winter, my lamp post light quit working. Figured the bulb was just out, but the vines were covering it all up, so I waited till Spring to change. When digging in there to uncover the vines, found the lamp sitting sideways ;-) oops! bent the whole fixture. Needless to say, she was relocated. I do have a good picture of her out there to remind me, she was beautiful though.
