Support for climbers on pergola uprights.

I have put some little eyes in mine 3 at the top 3 in the middle and 3 at the bottom around 3 of the sides, then woven some garden wire through these top to bottom.

Alternatively you could wrap a piece of fine mesh around a post such as small chicke wire or a piece of plastic fence, to aid support.

What ever you do you might see it this year but hopefully not next.

I have done uprights using twine to match(white, almond, natural brown). Attach the twine at the top, wrap around the upright LOOSELY about every 6 inches. You can tuck the top limbs of the climber under the twine as it grows. Use segments of twine to tie to the original for unruly branches.

I supported mine with twisty wire quite loosely and if you have a look at my pics you will see that its done quite well
