HollyA, Fraus and RCN, etc.! Wow! Love the arbors! Rebar got me thinking! Holly, We've been wanting trellis that would look good on front of our cottage. Maybe small version of yours-love square on point at top! Sweet neighbor gave us 2 pcs. plastic lattice:)! I need it for angelwing jasmine. It is starting to go down picket fence (salvaged). We are in Florida-trellis' have insulating value-cuts air bill, so we're all in! Also, doing Aunt a trellis in their backyard, for scuppernong grew from seed off very old farm vine-'thumper' marble size sweet berries! Have to cover 'unsightly' well pump in front of trellis-maybe bench w/shelf for pots? Trellis at back. I'll post before/after of both projects:).

Pic. of our backyard scuppernong vines arbor. Me, DH & Dad painted w/opps paint, built w/scrap wall demo/pieces already in yard, 4x4/2x4roadside & old garden bed boards:)-painted w/opps paint- lol. Paid top $ for some paint-realized there was always a gal. mint color in 'opps'-mixed several from Lowe's/3 walmarts. Sm. $ painted whole house, arbor & 1 old trellis, neighbor gave- added couple new boards, nailed bird house on-sweet dil's grandpa gave, turned it on side, added 2x4's on ends caulked GOOD, 'oops' paint and use for cucumbers + black cap chickadee moved in:)
#1-window box made out if two $1.50 fence pickets and .99cent 1x2:), #2-old trellis painted on side in garden w/bird house,#3&4 our 'salvaged' scuppernong arbor, #5- mostly salvaged picket fence. Took apart-put back w/every other new 6" board cut flush (approx. $1.50 for stock 6" pieces/2 cuts per piece. Salvaged 7 panels, needed 14, spacing 6" and a few new 1x4 for extra backs, gave exactly 14 needed and fence hardware was still on one salvage piece:) Dogs are now safe and 6" gave fence a custom look we love:)-sorry last pic. is sideways. Glad I found this, inspired me to finish other projects:)
