Wire trellis
Hi all. So I need to install a wire trellis on my fence for my climbing rose and honeysuckle. It's the standard six foot fence with concrete posts and after looking at previous threads on the subject it looks like I have two choices.
I can drill into the concrete posts and screw in vine eyes which could damage the posts and sounds like hard work but if needs must.
Or I can use Rivelin glen wire anchors with seems a lot easier but a bit more expensive.
So has anyone else used the wire anchors and if so are they up to the job as this is probably my preferred option.
Or are vine eyes just the standard way to go.when I'm looking in garden centres you see loads of vine eyes but never seen wire anchors.
Thanks.
