Hi Doreen,
What type of fence is that?
I ask because I have two board fences I would like to run grape trellis
along, but I worry about
the heat reflected from the board fence and the freeze thaw activity of the
spring.
Air movement is not an issue as the board fence is alternating with 4" gaps
between each board.
Thanks,
Tom
