Thanks pysch2. For some reason I tend to focus in to my plants, but I'll search for some larger overviews from my garden.

You can see a little bit of the trellis on the ground at the base of C. "Lady Bird Johnson".

I also used the gutter trellises to surround the support posts of our two story deck. Again, I focused on C. "Victoria", not on the trellis. I guess people always want to see the beautiful flowers, instead of the support system. Sorry about that. I can't go outside at the moment to take a picture because it's raining...maybe tomorrow.

One thing to keep in mind when using the gutter trellises is to choose a vine that will not overwhelm the support system. By that I mean that the vine is not overly aggressive and would not pull down the trellis/gutter with its weight.
