Nice job Jim.

How did you attach the trellis to the rebar? Did you use 1/2" rebar?

Thanks Stew.

Yes, the rebar was 1/2". The ridges on it made it ~9/16" at the thickest parts.

The first image in the original post shows me boring holes ~8" into the ends of the 2X2. The rebar was ~20" long and was pushed into the ground. Even with soil soft from recent rains it needed a few taps from a hammer against a block of wood to drive it all the way home.

The trellis was attached to the two pieces of 2X2 at the base with three brass, 2" long #12 screws on each side.

The screws are on the back side of the trellis in this image.

Nice garden project for springtime Jim. Perhaps some follow up with pics later in the growing season?
