Hey, what is the yellow Macsim attachment on the drill at 6:45? Depth? Cheers :-)

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Hi Callatya....it's a countersinking tool that also pre-drills the hole for your screw. Once the yellow cage stops spinning you've reach the optimal countersink depth so that your screw head finishes up just under the surface. Great little tool 👍😁🇦🇺

G'day Stacey...glad you like the trellis. We planted Star Jasmine and a couple of Mandevilleas. All going well except for one disaster!! The Mandevillea took off like a rocket and was looking fantastic. Grew to top of the trellis and beyond and then for some reason....one of them died!! Can't work out why, however l have a suspicion that the ground was too wet which the Mandevillea doesn't like. Oh well, hopefully the others dont succumb the same fate 🤞🤞

[@diyforknuckleheads]

[@texasbtc]

Fantastic design and exactly what I'm looking for, thank you. Question if you have time - I could not find where you said how far apart you set the posts? I am going to make something similar free standing as a wall on one side of our house but with wood costs so high I don't want to over do it although want to put enough. I was thinking 16ft long so 3 posts total with one in the middle at 8ft, surely that would be strong enough for star jasmine? Thanks for the help!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

G'day mate. My posts were 2.0m (just under 7 ft) apart as that suited the space that l was working in and also, that distance ensures that that the fence remains stable. 8 ft is going to the absolute max. If you can go back to 7ft you'd be better off. Good luck 👍👍

[@evcoolgene]

DIYForKnuckleheads can we get a look at this trellis fence now after 1 year? Do you have vines growing on it now?

[@diyforknuckleheads]

@@evcoolgene Yeah we do have vines now after a couple of false starts 😊 Initially we planted just two Mandevilleas....one took off like a rocket and basically covered half the trellis....the other was an absolute dud and didnt do anything at all!! Then for some reason the one that took off picked up some sort of disease and promptly died so we were basically back to nothing. Attempt number two and we not have just planted a couple of Star Jasmines and a Potatoe Creeper which are still in the early phase of growing.
