Lopsided

Ditto

Fixed with hose clamps
|
Six weeks later: OK but falling apart; so not OK.
|
Rethinking; got an idea
|
Installing an 8 foot aluminum strap
|
|
A solid steel post will carry the load
|
PVC pipes extend the post legs deep
|
Locked in by rocks and caliche
|
The steel post is almost vertical
|
|
|
Three adjustable screws fine tune the curve
|
|
The trellis posts and strap are plumb
|
|
Restoring the old lattice
|
1/2" x 1 5/8" pine 'stop moulding' straps to hang the panels
|
Posts and strap and trellis are plumb
|
A stretched U-bolt clamps the post to the strap
|
|
Experimenting with Velcro
|
|
Painting the aluminum trellis strap black
|
Oiling the trellis panels and the pine straps
|
|
Hanging the trellis with Velcro
|
don't
|
Hanging the trellis with hinged Velcro
|
|
|
A good wind is testing the velcroed hinges
|
Oh well ...
|
|
Reglueing the trellis straps (the oil penetrated the glue)
|
|
Liberty zinc hooks might work
|
Will they fit?
|
|
Yes
|
|
|
The steel post and trellis are vertical
|
|
|
|
|
|
The angleirons will keep the trellis from bouncing off
