I was wondering if it is possible to grow my hops around a pillar. I have 2 big pillars of my deck and I'd like to have my hop hops spiral up that pillar. How do you think this would work?
 
First I would ask what is the surface coating of the pillar. I have rough wood posts and hops climb that. If it is a problem you could always spiral cord around the pillar. Good luck.
 
I would run strings up the pillar, if the hops spiraled around they would be terribly difficult to get down at the end of season. i
 
Here is a picture of what I am working with. I'll be using the one on the very left and possibly the other one too if it works out ok
