DIY T Post Trellis T bars

[Bobp]

After chewing, on it for a couple of years, and seeing what others have done and reading everything I could find on it this is what I came up with to be the best option for me. It's economical, easy enough, and should last longer than I do.

We've had our Blackberries trellised on 2 wires but tying was very crowded and difficult. The rows get big and wooly and we needed a different option.

I ended up cutting #4 rebar in 30" prices, then heating them red and turning eyes on the ends or a L finger, we're trying both. My son argues the L finger works as well... It won't but I'll humor him.

I welded the rebar to U bolts and bolted them to the T posts in the feild. We'll them stretch 2 new top wires on the rebar.
I'll post more when I get the next step complete.

I’m guessing they might out last the t posts! Nice idea.

Valid point...I know a guy who welded his rebar to his Tpost which will make it very difficult to read install when you have to pull them and replant or do Maintenance ECT, and another who uses rebar as the post...Which seems flemsy to me...This gives the option of choosing heights ECT also.
