Trellis for Chalice vine

11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago

I bought a Chalice vine and would like to make a trellis for it to grow next to wall of my house. I am planning on using a metal frame with wire going across it. Can anyone tell me what distance the wires should be ? Also Is the wire suitable for this vine ? And any other tips (I live in Miami Florida) !

For an example of a simular trellis http://www.simplifiedbuilding.com/blog/building-a-backyard-grape-vine-trellis-with-pipe-and-wire/

I'm using galvanized steel pipes for the trellis because I would like to learn how to work with the pipe. In the future I would like to construct a trellis on my roof to prevent it from heating up and wood would not be strong enough.

thanks !
