Steel fence posts may be used except for the end. The trellis wire should be smooth, galvanized, No. 10 or No. Post spacing, wire height and other details are shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 illustrates using an existing fence or one of ornamental value. This is possible while still retaining the support features of the special two-wire trellis.
Solid fences are least desirable.
Such fences may obstruct sunlight and interfere with spraying. This system provides good conditions for producing high quality fruit. The fruit and foliage is held well up on the trellis for good sunlight exposure and air circulation. These conditions aid in reducing diseases. The long fruiting canes used make the system best adapted to vigorous varieties or in situations conducive to vigorous growth.
