Before:

| (yes, the invisible wire thing strung between the two horizontal rails) |
Well, it's been two months, and the thing is just COVERED in fresh, green, beautiful vines!
After:
 |
| wait... |
Guess what I didn't notice in June? The top rail was rotted through on one end! ARGH. It won't be a huge deal to replace it: I'll just have to cut the vines back below the level of the top of the trellis, cut through the twine holding the wire screen onto the rail, put up a new rail, and then tie it back together.
I hope.

| Guys, I don't think the Hibiscus is going to make it. |
Am I seeing that correctly: the railing is particle board??
ReplyDeleteYeah. Sigh. It was what I had at the time. And it's lasted a really long time. This was bound to happen eventually. The bottom rail is wood, and I have real wood to replace the top one with this time.
ReplyDeleteOh...I thought it was something Lennar did. Heh.
ReplyDeleteNo, that was me. When I put the original trellis up (http://pushingfurniture.blogspot.com/2012/06/bird-safe-backyard.html) I had one piece of wood that would work, and one piece of MDF harvested from an entertainment center that I had thrown out months before, and no money for more wood, so I used what I had, hehe. I re-used both pieces for this shorter trellis. I didn't move the wood on the bottom at all, but I moved the MDF piece on the top, and I SHOULD have noticed that it wasn't sound, but I guess I didn't. Sigh. At least now I have wood to replace it with. Just need to get around to doing it.
