In order for your grapes to grow in their vine-like pattern, they will require a trellis. This is why space is never very consistent when it comes to growing grapes. You can easily grow grapes in your backyard as long as you create the proper trellis for them to grow on.

Selection Of The Most Suitable Material

Once the bridal trellis is in place, surround the base with assorted plant material to cover the stands at the back. Either plant the chosen material or use potted plants for a more portable setting. Timing is essential; so, planning ahead for this feature will insure that your bridal trellis is covered in floral material. Allow enough time for the plant material to begin attaching to the trellis. Hint: Several varieties of climbing roses can fill a trellis in a growing season. Check with your local nursery for the best options.

Strength: Lighter, less dense plants should work well on any trellis. However, some plants and vines grow bigger, thicker and heavier, so the trellis you use must be strong enough to support the plant as it matures; otherwise, the plant can actually distort or even break the trellis… not a good outcome!

Grape trellis should be made before you decide to plant grapes. Grapes grow fast and their vines could spread quickly in the first year. Make sure that by the time this happens, your grape trellis is already ready for its purpose of supporting your grape plants.

If you are going to plant your vines either 6 or 8 feet apart, then you will want to space the posts about 24 feet apart. If you are spacing your vines seven feet apart, then you can choose to place posts either 21 or 28 feet apart. Do not place your posts more than 30 feet apart. Decide how long you want your trellis to be. This will determine how many vines you can plant and how many posts you need to buy.

There are different methods for running the wire. Some people drill holes through each post in order to run the wires. Another method is to attach the wires to the outside of the post via staples. Others hammer nails to the post and wrap wires around each nail.

Before you plant your grapevine trellis, you will want to consider the area in which you want to plant first. Your first post should be about two feet into the ground so that your eight foot post is six feet off the ground surface. Remember that your trellis is a permanent fixture since grapevines take a few years in order to begin producing.
