I've used the search function, and found a bunch of trellis ideas, but it's mostly all people proudly showing off what they've just built, and gives no idea if those concepts were durable or not.
I've got a bunch of temporary solutions for my hops right now, but I'm looking to make something a bit more long-term, planning on 7x 5m rows. At least 8' high, but probably closer to 18'.
My local co-op proposed 4x4s with stakes like this. I'm somewhat skeptical as to how stable this would be. I saw a few people with electrical tubes, but I have no idea what the price is on those and if it really works on the long term.
I'd really love some input from people who've had their treillis for a few years and have had time to ponder on what could have been made better or cheaper.
