Trellissss, or trelli
My better other bought some vines for the driveway. Therefore I had to get into gear. This is what we came with.
I used treated 2×4 pine lumber and cut a notch in it. save the cut off piece. I then cut dados in the cut off piece to match the grid.
After that it was easy peasy to install with Blue Screws into the Brick.
I have never had luck with blue screws before in concrete, but in brick they work like a champ.
Now the plants just have to figure it out.

It’s that time of year. They look great. You should follow up in a few months after they fill up with vines.

That’s a cool solution.
Will the blue screws work on stucco?

That depends in the substrate. Stucco is just a “veneer” of cement. The substrate is usually plywood or CMU. Sometimes it’s rigid foam insulation panels. I never had any luck with those blue screws – partially because I don’t have a decent hammer drill, but also they tend to break in concrete like Madts said. I always use lead anchors or hilti steel anchors. The lead ones are becoming more expensive now. Recently I spent over $100 on fasteners (lead anchors and screws only) to install a wall mounted handrail. I only bought 20 screws and anchors. Fortunately I was reimbursed because I had no idea it would be so expensive. But they work like a charm.

Very nice looking Madts. Nice to see the gardens growing again after winter.
