Nice, that's exactly how I want it.. which wood did you use besides the 70x70 posts? what did your "fence" cost? regards Tim

It was regular pressure-treated wood from Bauhaus.

I made a slight mistake, bought wood in Nov 2019 (built about 40%) and then more wood in the summer. There was a difference in both color and how the "wood" behaves since the newly treated wood warps and shrinks after 1 season. The ones I bought in Nov, the year before, were relatively dry and had been bundled with other woods. I remember they were already straight and nice.

Posts
95x95 (at corners and every end, i.e., ends)
70x70

Ribs and battens
70x45
45x28

Checked my calculation and it cost 4500-5000:-. Had minimal waste, despite some "oh shit" moments. It took longer though because of that.. One can be stingy on certain things and then it just has to take the time needed =).

I've had to replace 2 battens on the 48x28 batten running horizontally at the top.. Some shrunk a lot, and some didn't at all.

FYI, since the fence follows a curve, I had to make a jig to saw the ribs at different angles. Probably overcomplicated, but it was the first time, but it turned out nice.

Curve as mentioned

Hi, how tall are the posts and how high is the trellis itself?

Hi, how tall are the posts and how high is the trellis itself?

and what is the distance between the posts?
I think it was very nice

110 cm between the posts, but the maximum is 150 cm. Can warp and also bend (in/out, up/down) and then the screws break.

Uploaded a drawing with measurements. There are two different measurements because the short side is higher.

We'll see if it was included. It's a PDF.
