Solid Product; Easy Installation
The wire trellis system was delivered on time and contained all needed parts, plus easy-to-follow directions for installation. The stainless-steel wire included in the package is very high quality and was more than sufficient in length for the job. The installed system looks very nice on either side of the front entrance to our home, and it appears to be strong enough to support the bougainvillea growing up there. My only complaint (and a mild one at that) is that the plastic anchors provided for the screws securing the steel hubs were pretty cheap and sometimes ineffective in the masonry holes I drilled. I had to use higher-quality substitute anchors for several of the hubs. Otherwise, the system was exactly what I needed and hoped for. I would buy it again and may well do so as my bougies get bigger.

Good but get your own hardware and buy a cable cutter
I bought this trellis so a vine could grow along a stuccoed cinder block wall. With a few modifications it worked well. Good length of cable and great design flexibility. I would recommend:1) For anything other than wood get your own hardware. The plastic anchors are very cheap and are not the ones in the product photos. I did not trust them to hold strong.2) I have wire cutters, tin snips, bolt cutters, etc and figured one of them would work for cutting the cable. Quickly discovered that was a mistake. Get yourself some cable cutters. Not only does it make the cutting easier but it keeps the cut end of the cable in tact so that it can be threaded through the eyelets. I suspect previous reviews where people had issues with the cable fraying did not use cable cutters.3) The set screw you install in the barrel only directly touches one of the cables. The other is held in place somewhat when the outer cable deforms into it but in some cases I didn't think it was secure enough. I cut little rubber disks from leftover tool drawer liners and put those in between the cables so that they had better contact when the set screws were tightened. It was fiddley work but I think the end result was sturdier.I'd give it 5 stars if the plastic anchors weren't so cheap and if there were extras of the hardware so that you can drop/lose a screw or set screw and still put it together.

Best way to spruce up a plain wall!
I bought this to put on the side of a cinderblock garage. It was fairly easy to install, I used anchors (hammer drill) to get the hubs to it adhere in the concrete block. I wanted a horizontal diamond pattern 4 wide by 3 high. The kit included plenty of wire and with my pattern I had 3 hubs left. I planted several Clematis vines and within a few years the plain block garage will be a wall of flowers! I would recommend this product.

Too many screws stripped and even the plastic inserts ... tension just ok...
I have a vision for how I want my vines to be growing on my cinder block walls in the back and was hopeful this system would be the look that I wanted. It's a long-term process, so will have to update on success of the vine using the wires to spread across the wall; however, I can comment now on the installation process.a) I followed instructions to put anywhere from 8-24 in. in between each mount ... I went with 18 inches so I could do 3 rows and get an approximate 6 ft wingspan of future growth. I used my hammerdrill to pre-drill the holes ... no problem there, hammerdrills are awesome!!! But, I had an issue with a few of the plastic inserts and had to rifle through my toolchest to find other ones since no spares included in the kit. And then, of the 20 mounts/screws provided, 5 of them didn't screw in sufficiently and the heads were stripped, preventing them from going all the way in. As they were on the interior of the pattern, I left them there and figured I could still leverage them.In threading the wire through, I agree with other reviews indicating that while the wire nearer the allen screw gets set fine, the wire closer to the wall (for me, the vertical wire) isn't really tight unless you put considerable strength into tightening the allen screw -- perhaps putting little pieces of rubber in between, as suggested by another post, would have had better results. The resulting rectangle of wires had decent tension, but not all "90 degrees" and sharp tension ... I figure since they should eventually be covered by the vines, that wouldn't be an issue in the long-term.The Bottom Line: somewhat disappointed in the end result, though, admittedly, it's not like I have a degree in being handyman/yard guy, so it could be some user error involved. But then, there should be a few extra plastic inserts and screws (or better quality so hacks like me can't screw it up). I think that once the vines grow, the ultimate look will be ok. The near term results have me questioning whether I will double down on this product for my other vine to keep same look or if I need to look elsewhere.

Helping to make my house look great
Trying to make my house appearance better. Product did this Helps to allow me to plot out and make the plant able to route itself along a given path. Well made and and a great price.

God help you when the cable frays. And it will.
After every other pass through the hole the cable frays to the point where it no longer fits, so you have to cut it until it inevitably frays again

10 out of 10 would buy it again
It’s Easy to use and sturdy enough to not sag as the vines grow.

Screws are too long
The materials were good quality but the depth of the anchor is ridiculous. It is difficult to drill in to masonry for 2 inches which is needed to the provided screws. This depth is complete overkill for plants. I had to buy new screws and anchors to make installation reasonable. 3/4 inch depth is more than enough for a solid anchor in masonry or wood.
