I have (hopefully not fruitlessly :smiley:) bought a kiwi issai, but the place I was going to put it is probably not sheltered enough. The other place in the garden doesn't have a wall to attach things to - any advice on the best standalone structure?

    What about those metal pyramids for plants?
    It would look lovely climbing up those. Or fix a trellis between two posts.
    Buy one of those cheap metal arches. I had one for jasmin for decades before i couldn't mend it any longer

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    Some great ideas, thank you! :smile: I think I'm leaning towards the trellis between post idea, I quite like the idea of sinking the posts into concrete blocks and carrying on the theme through the garden with lights strung from them

    Just got a pair of vines myself. Have constructed an arbor some 4m x 4m, 2.4m high. Hopefully, it will be enough space for one of the vines. The second one, I'm going to plant along a wooden fence.
    The posts I used are set into metal ground spikes, so hopefully, they won't rot at the base like they would if set in to concrete.
