    Anyone have a good design idea for a home backyard trellis system? Send them my way if so...

    here is something similar to mine...
    http://kettleandcask.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-hop-trellis-pole-plans.html

    I have 2 posts with 4 rhizomes per post plus a guy wire that connects the two posts with another 2 rhizomes that run up to the guy wire as it runs between the posts. Nice feature about the design is that I remove the whole assembly during the winter months...but you can get away with a trellis for a LOT cheaper.
    The design was originally found in an old BYO.

    i was going to let my new hops to grow up along my fence (6+ feet) and then I'll run a cable/wire across my back yard, about 8 feet high a 2 feet from my fence. going to try to get them to grow like an upside-down hockey stick.
