Hop growing systems

Post by chivelegs » Wed Oct 22, 2014 12:41 pm

Afternoon.

I had a great harvest this year but my trusty old hop growing square has finally collapsed under the strain. Basically, this was four wooden posts, roughly 8' tall in a 10' square with two strands of plastic coated wire connecting them at about half way up and at the top. I also lashed on four bamboo canes to allow for a bit of vertical growth.
My hops would grow horizontally rather than vertically and so were easier to harvest.
Anyone got a better idea to replace this, or should I just re-build it?
