How to build an awesome dragon fruit trellis from PVC 

The challenge with traditionally designed trellises are wood rot or metal corrosion; your finely executed solution is brilliant. This DIY dragon fruit trellis is exactly what I was looking for, an added bonus is its affordability. I cannot wait to start this project. Thank you.

Just finished building my first dragon fruit trellis using your design, I added some concrete dobies to anchor it down more since I couldn't find the concrete cylinders at my local home depot. But most likely I'll attached to the second dragon fruit trellis for added support like what you did on your other videos. Thank you for sharing this!

You’re a genius🤙🏼🤣 I started planting Dragon fruit but I haven’t built the proper stand. This one looks sturdy, very clean and secure. Thanx for your tips and for this great video.🏆🤙🏼💪🏼

Thank you for posting this video. I followed every step and made my very first dragon fruit trellis today! I’ll be making more!

Excellent tutorial 😁 Very easy to understand. THANK YOU

I like your design. Where I live, the sun bakes everything to death in the summer so shade cloth is a must.

Thank you for sharing this. I've been thinking of making dragonfruit posts without the concrete or wood. ❤️😊

Luckily i accidentally saw you video since i am looking for long time for diy dragon fruit trellis and i admire it for clean,sturdy and easy to built now i can started my planting hobby thanks..

Great idea using the fence post!

I LOVE THE TRELLIS IDEA THANK YOU FOR SHARING .. FROM SVG CARIBBEAN NEW DRAGON FRUITS GROWER AND GRAPES

Pure awsome! Amazing Design

Very cool!! Great idea -- thanks for sharing!!

Great video, thank you for posting.

Great design mate, that'll last forever. 👍

Fantastic video. Growing seeds now and will make this in the future. Thank you, anyone can do this.

I am soo glad your video came across you are awesome thanks for sharing. You are so ingenious. I will be making some for my dragon fruit. 👍👍

that was very helpful. Thank you.

Super cool! I will be building one tomorrow

thanks much, so smart and cool like yourself, so relaxing to watch

Thank you for the idea. This is a lot better than wood.

Terrific idea using the fence post

Great stuff, thanks for sharing. I was able to save a bit of $ using 4" drain pipe vs the the square fence post. I just had to trim a bit off the 4 way connector to allow it to fit in the pipe.

Awesome! I think I've seen you post on Facebook or someone shared your video

Wow! Thank you so much for shRing this. We just recently built one but its made of wood. I will definitely build one like this.

Love it! Going to make one but a modified version

awsome ! Thank you for sharing

You’re so smart, thanks for sharing 👍

Happy gardening!

You are so smart!

Beautiful good ideal thank you

Nice contraction 👍

Great job 👍🏽

very strong post of Dragon fruits 👌 excellent jobs of Dragon fruit

smart builder look awesome thanks

Thank you for the sharing the excellent design. I am getting components for the first trial unit. However, I will go for schedule 80 PVC pipes and connectors. The vinyl fence post will last for very long time because it is UV protected. The PVC pipes and connectors are not meant for above ground and exposed to the sun. They will degraded faster than the post. Hopefully, schedule 80 will have a longer life.

Thanks for sharing.

What kind of PVC is safe for food grade since par to it will be buried in soil? I think this PVC setup is cheaper and easier than Cedar or Redwood for posts and boxes.

Hi Tung, how is this trellis holding up? I would love to see an update video. Thank you for sharing!

Brilliant !!!

I think i'm going to use this idea, just the first square and attach it to the 4x4 post.

Very clever idea and great use of PVC pipes and fittings. Thanks for the sharing this brilliant design. Since this is built once and use forever, would it be more permanent to screw down the connection points with stainless steel self-tapping screws? zip ties will break down due to UV.

Brilliant, thank you for sharing!

Also would you suggest adding gravel or rocks to maybe the first 6-10" inside just the column for drainage and base support? I just purchased the pvc so building soon.

Best idea ever seen

Very very like..... I am from India As I am interested to farming dragon fruit, I want to know more about this design to use in a bigger scale

brilliant

Hi Tung cool design! Have you tried using 4x4 post cover instead? Do you think it’s not big enough?

Beautiful post sir

I also did this with pvc pipe....but used 4 inch pvc pipe for the stand

This is awesome! What was the pot size that you used?

I suggest to drill more holes under the soil and put soil inside the post, to allow the roots to hold down the post.

Thanks for sharing design ,what pot size you are using

This is great, I built mine 4" round drain pipe but forgot to fill up the dirt inside. I like your top but I don't think I'll do the extension for shade since I can always move it to the shade area to keep thing simple. I think if the 4" round drain PVC pipe is strong enough it will cut your cost by half since it's only $10.

You are genius to think ang figure out how to make PVC pipe. You can make a great business doing that. Make a set of that and sale it to the public. It's pre cut ready to assemble. Most Dragon fruit lovers Ara women. We don't want to hassles to measure drills holes. I will buy just to have fun to grow dragon fruits plants and watch it climb up and bears flowers into fruits.. PVC pipe is more durable with woods. I love your invention. Think it seriously!!! Good luck!!

That’s is one of the best trellis I’ve seen!!! Can I buy that from u? Where do u live?!

thanks for design, I didn't want to use wood since it would rot. Is the 2nd top support really needed? I'm on a tight budget.

Quite nice developed how much it did cost you one piece or 100 piecs cost vise

Thanks for a great video. Will you be doing one with these fully grown?

What's cheaper wood or pvc?

Great work brother.... kindly share the diameter / MM of the round PVC used for the trellis and anchor support..thanks for sharing.. surely trying this out. Respect from INDIA Regards J Banerjee.

Nice design What is the cost of 1 post ; What is the life of the post; how much production can we get from 1 post say after 3 years

I'm still learning but if cost wasn't a issue would you make this taller say 5 or 6'. Most trellis designs I see tend to be taller. Just curious?

Wow, this is what i was looking for 😊. One question : how sturdy the post will be.. Any chance of damage during summer or monsoon season..

Harbor Freight sells stainless steel zip ties in packs of 25 or you can order them online in packs of 100. Your design is good. I'm wondering if the grey pvc might be stronger and more UV resistant?

bon travail je te félicite cher ami je suis du maroc je voudrais savoir est ce qu' il exixte la pitaya auto fertile et merci

Hello, nice to see this ! You are fantastic. Do you take orde

Build the base first and install in your pot. Fill the fence post with soil. Then attach the top structure. Filling in the soil after the assembly is very tedious because of the small openings. BTW, what are the endcaps for?

Hi can you please tell me approximately how long this would last in the pot? I live in Australia with a hush sun light. Thanks

how big is the pot?

What name drill bit to drill a holes ? Thanks

💯💯👍

Do you have to fill the post with soil all the way to the top

Can you show easy method

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Is there a way you sell one to me so I can figure it out by following your post?

How many cost

If you're living in Orange County and LA Area, I'd like to buy a few pre-built Dragon Fruit Trellis from you.

Spare us the verbiage, we can see your good ideas!

Sadly, inexplicably, in 3 years that fence post has jumped 65% from $23 to $39 at home depot.

Did the price of the fence post go up? A 4x4 6 ft. fence post is $23 and the 5x5 8ft fence post is $36.

the shading part, I'm afraid it's not going to be practical....plants when the get to the top, they'll reach a couple feet over before the bend.

hey guys how are you , please some making for i like so much i will pay i want sixs piese

Can I buy one from u

that is cost too much

Pvc cant stand the Sun

It's not a good idea to use PVC tubing, it will will not last longer than 6 years. It come brittle and break down.

I was about to build this trellis but just read up on vinyl and PVC and they do not recommend using PVC to grow fruits and veggies because the PVC will eventually breakdown and leach cancer causing carcinogens into your fruits. I’m so sad now!!!
