Tom put his idea on paper, then did the measurements for materials. He actually saw the large half-gallon jars at Walmart, which gave him the idea for the outdoor lighting.

The squirrels were gnawing on the wires of outdoor lights, over our deck.
I love this!!!!
Brilliant!!!!
Tom also made the trellis, over the deck, for my grape leaves. He did it years ago, and has shifted. Looks as if he didn't use a level, which he did. Also, there was a possum hanging around on top of the grape leaves, on the trellis!
Wow, you and Tom should be proud, that's a great solution! And, it looks really nice too.
I love this idea! I might suggest putting another layer of latticework on top of the existing layer. We did this, because we get some intense hail storms during the summer here in Colorado, and it really helped. Our trumpet vine is getting pretty heavy too, so it added some additional support.
