For this build we created a 4x4 concrete post that was 6.5 feet long. It was reinforced with rebar and a threaded rod was cemented into the top of the post to connect our trellis frame. After we poured the concrete we let it dry then cure for a total of 48 hours.
We then dug 2 foot holes into the ground and cemented our concrete posts into them. This leaves a total of 4.5 feet above ground (anything between 3 -5 feet is ok). We will cover spacing of posts in a different video.
For the trellis tops we cut a metal beam into two pieces that was 24 inches long. On of of the beams we removed the center walls so that it would fit over the other beam to form a cross. We then drilled 2 holes on the walls (at the end) of each beam (the holes are large enough to slide in a schedule 40 1/2 inch pvc pipe). There was a total of 8 holes drilled. Next we cut our 1/2 inch pvc pipe to match the length of the beams, slid them into the holes and glued elbow joints at each corner. The end result was a square made up of schedule 40 1/2 inch pvc pipe supported by the metal beams).
Finally we placed the top of the trellis on the post and outlined where the threaded rods were. We drilled out the holes then secured it with a washer and bolt
