Ever Green TrellisTM
The Ever green system consists in using a swing bolt, which will allow to adjust the clearance between the vine and the wall using different length of the swing bolt and a 2” backing washer for support, plus the swage stud with cable.

The following are some of the patterns for trellis ideas:
How to design a Ever Green TrellisTM?
- Determine your trellis area, which can be a rectangular Diamond shape ( see illustration 1-2 and 1-3) and choose the swing bolt or stand-off for your system.
- Drill ½” hole every 1’-2’ distance (depending on type of vine) on the top and bottom and left and right of your trellis area.
- Place the 3/8” drop in anchor into each hole.
- Put the socket screw inside the stand-off and screw on to the wall or screw in the swing bolt if you chose the Ever Green Trellis System.
- Place each end of the cable assemblies into the swing bolt or stand-off on each side of the trellis. ( Note: cable assembly can be provided by QMH or Hand Swage fittings are available to assemble at site)
- Tighten the nuts on both ends to tension the cable. ( Just enough to hold the vine)
- Place the cross cable clip on the intersection where the cable need extra support of the vine.
Optional: Trim the excess threaded stud and use a round cap or cap nut to finish.
