Apartment/Container Growing on the back deck...

Ok so here goes year 2, year one I had 2 cascade's in one barrel, 1 columbus and 1 mystery variety given to me for free from an hbt member....I've gotten everything ready for this season, including ordering a centennial and digging up one of the cascade crowns out of cascade barrel and planting it in the ground...(which gives me 1 centennial, 1 columbus, 2 cascade, and one mystery variety)....i'm excited to see this years crop!

How did you anchor the poles into the pots?? Or is the dirt just holding them? How high?

I got some crowns this year that I'm planning on putting in barrels... Any issues I should be concerned with long-term? I'm hoping to have them wrap around our metal gazebo (one of those from Lowe's - the cover and tarp walls shredded last year so I'm thinking of having hop plants wrap around the metal and create a nice green space...) just wondering how they would produce down the road vs in the ground...
