Fighting sticks in the vegetable garden

A stick, stake, half-bar or tarkal - whatever you call it, it is unaesthetic in the garden. For a long time I put up with this historical phenomenon. After all, sticks have an advantage - they are always at hand. Poked and solved the problem. He planted a tree, a tomato, and a tall blackberry bush tied up.

I decided, but I did not decide. And he only reassured himself that the job was done for today. No stake will prevent the brushes of tomatoes from breaking off from the severity, if not additionally tied up. And from time to time they tied our tall blackberries to sticks, so ugly:

It was not always possible to tie correctly. After all, an erect blackberry, if it has begun to mature, does not really like to be bent.

Therefore, for a couple of years I have dreamed of an arch for her. There was always not enough money for this business, and the same sticks won: they stand and stand. Is free.

And then, one day, during the spring garden boom in my head... I saw an inexpensive arch in a garden store, Less than 1000 rubles. The box is light, small, weighs 1.8 kg.

The arch, when assembled, is 2.4 m high and 1.4 m, depth 37 cm. In OBI, this is 649 rubles. worth it, but I already found out at home. And at that moment I bought my little dream, so inexpensive. Metal is solid, not plastic! Fun details about the assembly below.

Now the blackberry under the arch:

The twigs were simply laid on the rungs. While growing, a little direction is enough. Only one had to be tied up. We will lay new branches on time. And we will cut these in the fall after fruiting.

I adapted a bush holder to a small bush, a young one, then I will show it in the review. And the big one only fit the arch, he is.

First I had to "fight" with the arch

This is how our beauty looked at the beginning of the assembly:

These are not twigs, but tubes. The metal is thin. In the hands of his son-in-law, he behaved like plasticine, the arcs bent a little, but not critical.

Fastening with such screws, translated from Chinese, with self-tapping screws:

A plastic thread has been inserted for them. In one transverse bar it was not, without it I had to put it. Not critical.

Spinned quickly with a screwdriver.

Knowing our reality, all household members were happy. It was easy and understandable to assemble, pleasant to use.

Before that, we assembled a support from plastic pipes. That was a quest! I will write in the next article. They had to write a slogan: "Check your IQ." I do not recommend that design, but the arch is still good. A thousand for 5 non-collapsible arch is better and more beautiful... Yes, that arch is out of place for a modest, albeit tall, bush by the fence.

A worthy support for the beautiful blackberry - the task is 100% completed.

How do you like the idea? Or are sticks better?
