0:15.0 | Hope you're doing well. |
0:16.0 | Today we're going to discuss some trellis ideas. |
0:18.7 | Some different things you can do to build them instead of buy them, right? I think one of the things that's most expensive at a |
0:26.0 | garden center is a trellis of a certain design, right? Like it's, you can buy bamboo stakes in like five |
0:32.1 | bucks, but if you go and get a |
0:34.0 | designed trellis they're quite expensive and so how can you make some of these on |
0:37.9 | your own well here's a great one you can start out with just an a frame |
0:42.4 | so it's just two things where the point at the top meets |

I wish I was a boy scout, I wasn't, but I learned some of these lashing techniques just by doing a little bit of searching around. |
1:35.8 | And the thing that's nice about this is you can make a trellis in any style that you want. |
1:40.0 | So if you wanted to do a classic grid style trellis, you could lash that up with bamboo, but you can also do |
