my garden is north facing but the front of my house is south facing. I live in a mid terrace though. I'm thinking having looked at how you guys are doing it, of just getting a long ladder and screwing some wooden blocks to the external wall up near the eves and just running twine down to pots (I have 2 big pots, perle and progress). Will have to get my arse down B&Q.
I've done a similar thing with a new Progress plant in a pot at the front of my house, as it gets a lot of sun in the afternoon.
Surprised SWMBO didn't complain, but luckily she likes the look of hops
2 lines of doubled up twine from hooks at top.
Initially I just tied twine from top to stick at the base, but twine sagged a bit after a few days & rain, and moved in wind, so I was worried that sticks may get pulled out and plants disturbed if it got really windy.
Twine now tied to eye hooks 1/2 way down, then on to eye-hooks at the base near the pot.
