Thanks Simon - after years of wondering why I wasn't getting anywhere with the plastic covered stuff from B&Q and Homebase, watching your video and buying the kit from GSProducts I finally cracked it! Shame the internet wasn't around 30 years ago when I first strung a wire for a grapevine but this time replacing the stretched green wires with proper tension wires worked perfectly and almost as quickly as your obvious expert demo showed. Only thing is in the year since you made this video the £40-or-so cost has risen somewhat, so a 50m kit cost over £60 including postage - but to get such excellent results so effortlessly it was worth every penny!
Great video, hope the fence is coming along well and that jasmine is giving your garden a nice fragrant aroma.
Great video! Thank you, really helpful.
Thanks Simon. Just what I was looking for. Really helpful video 🙂
Thank you Simon, great video
A great video, thank you, Simon. I wanted to know how to do this before purchasing a kit, and now I can do the job with confidence.
Very helpful thank you!
What a lovely video - thank you so much! Very clear and concise instructions - exactly what I was looking for!
Brilliant- thank you
Great video. Very clear. Can you give us the name of the kit you got from the net please?
Really helpful.
Really helpful, thank you. Have you got a pic or a vid of that fence with all the climbing plants years later now? Sarah
Thank you very informative
Damn - I've got H type concrete posts. I'm disinclined to drill into them! Thank you for the video!
Useful! Thanks
Looks great what website did you get the kit from please
it's super easy😀 you haven't seen my lack of diy skills
Hello, will those vines stick to the fence or stay on the wires?
Thanks😍
Happy pourne garden
I was unable to find the rope clamp that you used in your video. The ones I found need crimping tool and don't have Allen key hold to tide up. I was wondering if you could provide the name of your rope clam?
any tips for if the posts are on the other side of the fence?
Hi Simon, the fence I wish to attach trellis wires to is around 9m in length and on a gentle incline from left to right. I was thinking to install 2 level lengths, changing height at a post mid way to compensate for the incline. Or would you just measure the same height from the base and install the trellis wire following the same incline of the fence?
What length vine eye did you use?
thanks sir
Very nice video. Easy to follow.. Can you please let me know which tool you used to mark the hole for screw-in vine eyes? Did you say Bravo? believe it was an awl? I have evergreen Jasmine for which I was not sure if I could use the typical green wire many had suggested.
The tool is called a bradawl.
Pronounced “braddle”
Is it one long wire through every fence panel say 3 panels one turnbuckle. I thought every fence post needed a turnbuckle.
Hi there thanks for the video. Do you have a link to the kit you purchased? Also, what would you suggest fixing to if I have concrete posts? Was thinking to use wall plugs!
It was from GS Products in the UK - you can buy the kit or the individual bits - wire, clamps, tighteners etc. Good luck

We need an update with a picture of how this evergreen jasmine has grown!! Please🙏 😬
I have a question regarding training Jasmine to climb a tree . Can Jasmine live alongside , or in fact growing around a tree , without killing the tree?
I'm on a boat mooring , which has ltd possibilities for having some large trellis , or structure , on which to grown the plants up against , or around . So my options are a few large trees , which I figure would be perfect for a flowing plant like this to use .
I mean is there a limit to height before a plant hinders the tree ??Any replies welcome .I'm UK based
I can’t find the kit you used.
Yes, that is rope clamp. Hard to find that model though.
Would you please let me know how much it cost to do this? Where do you get the materials, and what materials required? Thanks
Hi Tiffy I purchased the products from GS Products in the uk..they sell the individual wires, vine eye screws and turnbuckles or you can simply buy a kit. Good luck!
il try that and the fence will come down or end up strangling myself or both..yea likley both
Is that called a "rope clamp"?
can you provide a link to this rope clamp please?

Thanks for the video. But the music makes it difficult to hear what you're saying.
This is so relevant and useful, and very well explained. Thank you for a wonderful video. This is the right way to hang a vine support and not a Mickey Mouse solution.
Please do not add music to any DIY, demo, tour, cooking, or wildlife video. it hurts the ears and drowns the voice.
My fence posts are concrete 😮
Those eye bolts have no strength when you mount theme 90 degrees to the cable. You will bend them. An eye bolt needs to go into material parallel to the direction (in line) to the wires. I give you a fail altogether. Why do people that do not understand the basics think they can tell others how? if you want to know how it is done watch the videos of grape growers and other vining fruit growers do the job.
Absolute overkill
