I have a detached garage, similar to the one shown here.
One side of the garage has a southerly facing that gets a lot of sun. I'm thinking about planting some hop rhizomes at the base of the wall, training them to go up wire runners to the roof, then up and along the roof to the very peak of the garage. This would give 20' or more for the bines to run and I can get up there easily to harvest them.
Do you think the roof would get too hot in the summer and fry the bines? I could probably work out a system to put 4" or 8" of separation between the runners and the roof itself.
What do you think? Could this work?
