Kiwi trellis takes shape


Looking west along the south side of the house. The kiwi trellis will support our Issai kiwis - kiwi "berries" that are hardy in our variable winters. We have four plants, three female and one male. The trellis is made from Ipe, the same material we used for our decking. We'll lay 4"x4" beams across the top and below that more of the stainless steel cabling (the same stuff we used on the deck.) You can see one of the kiwi vines growing behind the front post.
