My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

emt trellis elbows -- pvc

16 years ago

Last year, I followed Mel's instructions of making trellises out of 1/2" EMT conduit placed over rebar hammered into the ground. But the elbows he recommends (metals ones with screws) are about $5/ea around here -- would have cost me $40 in elbows for my setup. At Lowes I found some 1/2" PVC elbows, threaded on both ends. I hammered these onto the trellises and they seemed to hold pretty well, and at $0.50/ea. I really liked the price. Well, after one season they are still holding up well. A couple popped off when moving them for storage, but I was able to pound them back on. So it seems as though they'd last at least a couple years, and are cheap to replace. Just a suggestion for the budget-conscious SFG'ers out there.
