Post #6803229

Have any of you purchased this type of 6 ft. wooden pyramid trellis for your clems? This one was originally $70 at Lowes, marked down to $55 and now $39. I found out they have been there 3 yrs, however.
I really like these, but not sure how well they will hold up, whether to paint them first, and how many clems they will hold. I'm thinking maybe 3 clems. I'm also not sure where I would put them. I'm planning to give the front of the house a facelift maybe in the fall and not sure if these would look right there. It's also the west side and I don't know if clems will survive there in the afternoon heat.
Jeanne, have you grown clems where they get sun all afternoon until sunset with temps as hot as they have been this summer for us?
I'm waiting for them to mark them down again and considering whether or not to buy 2 or 3 of them for future clems. Any advice?
