Nice job on your new trellis. I would put a conduit clamp on each side to add a little more stability to your trellis.
Put a half dozen of those similar to your choice around 10 years ago and they are still holding up.
I love EMT trellises! I made my first one just like you. Later, I found a company called Maker Pipe that makes connectors for EMT pipe. They are really cool and easy to use, but more importantly, they have many more types than Home Depot. They are also very easy to attach, unattach, and adjust.
Thanks for the tips!
I use conduit for my trellises but instead of using 90 degree connectors for the horizontal piece, I use PVC T connectors. I cut the horizontal piece about 2" longer than the width of the vertical conduit.
We were late on getting some of our garden in this year too! Life was absolutely crazy since last August. I figure we may as well try! If we don't try, then we definitely won't get anything!
Cute little green tree frog. I love this trellis. This would go perfect with the mini beds I’m going to be setting up. BTW harbor freight sells some inexpensive all purpose scissors lol.
Awesome! Thank you!
I always sew pickling cucumbers. I eat them fresh and also make pickles. Never have I come across sour or bitter cues. im wondering could your problem be lack of water?
The pull-elbow link is for a noodle board. I am sure this was compensation for using her 'good' scissors. lol Can you post the correct link? I want to do this in my garden. Can you also post a link for the posts that you put in the ground to start with? I don't know what those are. Thank you so much. I love your videos and learn a lot from you. Also, is the conduit 1in or 1/2in??
It may be helpful to be more precise in your terminology and sizes. Considering all the effort in making the video. Rebar, 1/2" x 10' EMT. Someone new to this may need exact terms and sizes.
There's a fair amount of sway. With the vines coming up at an angle you may be OK but if someone runs their verticals straight down, at the height of summer they'll have a giant sail. A good wind will topple it. Raised bed soil isn't firm enough to hold. You'd have to put it pretty far into the soil below. Adding 45 degree bracing or a couple of two-hole straps would help.
Best of luck.
Hello, question? Did you plant beds in soil, then put rocks in..? Or better yet do you have a video of your garden project?
That's an inside conduit elbow. You can you a 90 degree pull elbow and they are half the price. That is what I've been using with my 3/4 conduit trellises.

3/4" x 10 electrical conduit is $39 each in canada. to bad this looks interesting
It’s cheap here. Canada taxes strikes again.
Is 1/2" conduit strong enough or should I size up?
It never hurts to size up. Over that length 1/2" is pretty floppy. If you are making anything of any real size, use 3/4". A bonus to that is you can use wider rebar. It just gives you more options for what you'll be slipping it over. Some stores carry a wide range of rebar widths plus there are other items you can use. Spend some time and poke around, you never know when inspiration will strike. The cost difference is nominal. Also, test fit it in the store. Rebar is cut on a shear and the ends can get deformed and be wider than the nominal width so make sure the EMT will go over it.
Another option if your soil cooperates is to use the entire length of the EMT and pound it directly into the ground to your preferred height. This is not always practical because you need to be steady on a tall ladder but if you pound the EMT 3 feet into the ground you won't need the rebar and it's not going anywhere, I promise. Very hard clay or rocky subsoil may make this more trouble than it's worth, it depends on what you've got.
If you pound in the EMT use a piece of scrap wood on top to keep the conduit from smushing so it goes into the fitting. Also, you can get a handheld pipe cutter if you don't have the power tool with a metal cutting blade. You just spin it around the pipe and tighten the screw. Really easy. Makes a sharp edge, be careful.
Lastly, if you follow his example, and there's nothing wrong with that, I'd suggest getting two hole straps and use those to secure the EMT to the sides of the beds.
I have a lot of trellises, 8 arches and one 30 foot T-trellis, FWIW.
OK, last thing, I promise. Check out Maker Pipe. They have a channel. They sell all sorts of fittings for EMT that go together with a hex wrench. The community has so many good ideas and the fittings are extremely sturdy. www.youtube.com/@MakerPipe
Good luck and happy gardening!
I buy 4 pieces of 3/4 conduit. I cut 3 to 8 feet. I use 1 full one 10 feet across with a PVC T in the middle. The ends are connected with 3/4 90 degree pull elbows. The center pole is held to T with metal screws, this supports the 10 foot span in the center.. I use rebar 2 to 3 feet long to support the conduit. If you don't want the conduit to sink into the ground use a 3/4 pipe flange, the conduit will screw into it just enough to be snug.
Twine? Not forever...
