I'm growing hops for the first time and its time to get my trellis up. I rent my house and I've been given the greenlight to do basically whatever I want with the backyard so in theory I could put a wooden structure up but I don't want to take on the expense/extra work of building something super nice that I'm just going to leave behind when I move.
So, I'm looking towards PVC (or EMT) to build this thing. I was hoping some people who have built a PVC trellis could chime in with some things they've learned after building theirs. Things I'm interested in:
How deep to bury poles
Pole diameter
Any extra saupports needed for stability
Any other do's don'ts or general advice you might have
Cheers!
