How to Build a Grapevine Arbor

Grapevine arbors provide not only a source of fruit, but also a fresh supply of grapes to make homemade wine. If that's not reason enough to build an arbor, they are also an easy way to add an aesthetically pleasing touch to your landscaped yard or garden.
Instructions
Dig holes for posts in a straight line six feet apart, using post hole diggers. Sink 4 by 4 posts into the holes. Fill the holes with concrete for added stability. Drill two holes into the center of each 2 by 4. Using a wrench and lag bolts, attach 2 by 4 boards to the posts, forming a T-shape. Space eye hooks evenly apart and screw four per post into the top of the 2 by 4 boards. Tie the clothesline to the eye hooks on the end posts. Thread it through the middle, finally tying it to the eye hooks on the other end post. Train the grapevine to the arbor by wrapping its branches around the posts.Things You'll Need:
