Is this Pergola strong enough for wisteria?

I don't have an answer for you, just a "share." I purchased this arbor several days ago and received it so promptly I haven't had time to get it out of the box; just a quick look at the directions. My previous arbor was "redwood," the Sam's Club version of it anyway. It served me well for about 10 years but the support beams rotted off at the ground. I had wisteria on my previous arbor and after about 5 years, even with a lot of cutting back to the ground, the larger vines broke the cross beams out of the side pieces. When I took the old arbor down, it took a chain saw to loosen a lot of the vines, they were so twisted and thick. Again, I cut this stuff down to the ground annually. My goal with the new arbor is maybe a climbing rose or some sort of climbing vine that is not as thick and heavy as wisteria. If you receive a definitive answer, please post. Thanks, Judy

I would say definitely! I haven't tried to grow it yet, but plan to this spring. It took 5 grown men to move it across the patio, so its very heavy & made with all real wood.

Yes, I think this would work well for that. It's flexible but SUPER strong. I have 8 different veggies growing on mine right now and it's doing great. Good luck, those are beautiful flowers!

Yes, the one we bought came with the hardware for hanging and my husband put a thick board on top of our pergola and secured it to that board. Love it!

yes. It has to be "at least 24 inches". Just be aware, her main concern is it turns into a huge vine (thick) and needs an anchor, some stability. happy gardening!

Yes. It's actually pretty sturdy for the price. Not as sturdy as solid wrought iron, but I grew runner beans, morning glories, and clematis up this trellis last year and they did fine. I would think it could handle one grape vine on each side as long as you pruned them each year.

Hi Suryeah, Oh yes, they are super sturdy. Cascading plants are very lovely as well. The only small problem is make sure the weight (soil and plants) are evenly distributed. I have fuchsias in mine and tinkerbells. Just lovely windchimes

i live equi-distant from the bay and the ocean. winds are a big part of life. the pergola is standing,still in December. I had to take the fabric down in October and am very sad about that. all else, a good product and worth your money. i am glad for mine.

I would guess so. This would only support the center, it the rose is really leggy, they will hang. I think this would would be good for a tall rose plant, but perhaps not a climbing rose bush where you generally tie up the peripheral branches to a trellis. I don't know though, it is sturdy enough for whatever you want to try, if you know how your plant will grow. It would look very elegant with a rose. Sorry for the non-committal response, lol. I hope I was somewhat helpful. :)

I would say it would definitely be strong enough. Fill the planters and them remove them to another location. Bottom can be used for storing other empty pots. For the money, it is a good value for novice gardener.

I used this fencing inside my wood fence to keep out rabbits. I did tie my tomatoes to it, and I think, as long as you have the trellis to attach it to, it should be strong enough.

Yeah it should be. I think the most light demanding plant I am growing is rotala indica and it grows like crazy. Everything else I am growing is not as demanding but doing well also (anubis nana, subwassertang, moss balls, java fern, and java moss).

I think yes but you still have secure it with nails because when it's filled with soil it becomes very heavy and wobbly. great planters however. Mine were stunning last year i bought 4. :-)

I think so, the "legs" have about an inch and a half approximately on each end that you can adjust. So technically it will work, but note that'll be a stretch. If you're careful with it then I see no problems. Plants might be fine too if you use low light types.

I believe it would be. I used it to start bedding plants (tomatoes, basil, etc.) and grow them to the plant out stage and the light worked well for this.

Sturart, Per your inquiry: This will easily support normal wgted hanging plants. It is very sturdy; I would just be sure to secure it with long enough screws attached to strong enough wood. Enjoy.

My opinion is that it would be fine for such. If you needed brighter I would consider the Ray2 light but it might be too much for low light plants.
