The main reason to brace the posts is to keep the wire stretched tight. On short trellises (10 feet long or less) it's possible to use 1/2 to 3/4 inch diameter concrete reinforcing bar, attached to the posts, to support the vines. I built a system with wooden end posts, drilled holes, and drove the rebar through the holes. Put up a metal post at the vine and wire the rebar to it. No space used for braces because no braces are needed.

Re: Bill's T-Post System
There is a hardware bracing system for T-posts called Wedge-Loc. Works very
well. Their website shows local dealers (usually farm supply stores).

I have a few young grape vines that are currently grown on the
neighbor's chain fence. I'm looking to add a simple trellis that will
be higher than the fence, around 4'-6'.
