Sure .... it is a good trellis. I get a bit of bamboo... then split it down the length of it... I put a chesil aganst the end of it... then rap it lightly with a hammer ... this gets a crack started ... then I twist the chisel and it opens wider ... I push it down the length of the bamboo opening twisting and sliding it lower... till it is in two pieces.. for the cross piecces I split it again after I cut it to the length I need..then I attach it with the plastic wire ties from the electrical dept at home depot... they run aboit 1.5 cents each.. in bulk ..I have cross pieces to the three uprights.. as well as diagional ones to keep it from racking..[twisting].. it makes a structure like the antenne poles...sometimes I use 4 upright poles.. this one was 10' tall... for some grafted tomatoes... they got to the top of it last summer ... oh the picture of that one is on the i-pad and in the next post
