I have used Livestock panels for several years with good result ONLY IF you almost daily help the vines climb, once started they seem to follow each other, it just comes natural now when I'm in the garden to stuff vines in as I walk by. I like fellenz using ag-clips, I might try that this year, I tend to break several off during the season and would think the ag-clips might help with that. I grow Armenian.
