You can secure your trellis into the ground with catch wires, or by cementing them into the ground surface. You will always want to use galvanized steel wire if you ever choose to use a wiring method to secure your grapevine trellis. 

Move the bridal trellis into the appropriate place. You will need to allow enough time for your plant material to mature.

Durability: How well constructed is the trellis you plan to use? Check where the vertical and horizontal elements cross to see how securely they are joined. Also, consider how well your chosen trellis will withstand the outdoor elements. Most of them are designed with this in mind, but it varies from material to material, so do a little research to be sure of your choice.

Making a 45 degree angle, nail the other 2′ piece to the post. You should now be able to stand your post upright. Repeat the same process for the second post.

The grape trellis types used in supporting vines is an essential part of the growing process and it is vital it is installed correctly. Insufficient planning and poor construction can mean complete failure of dreams of producing your own crops of wine grapes.

The end posts should be planted at an angle, pointing 60 degrees out and away from the rest of the trellis. You should also bury an anchor (dead man weight, concrete, or anchor post) about 60 degrees out from the top of the end post.

3. Architecture: Using trellises to define selected spaces in a yard or garden is a great way to create visual excitement and function.
