The trellis will be in his driveway, and he plans on planting the tomatoes in 10-gallon (16" wide) containers.
The sticky notes are to indicate a v-shaped bracket.
He’s located in zone 8b, and the wind is constant (20-25 mph gusts are common in the summer).
He plans to use 3/4" EMT conduit. The upright conduit will be 8 feet tall. The top conduit will be in 10-foot sections to support 7 tomato plants (for a total of 28 plants). It’ll be 5 feet wide.
The little pieces on the footers are designed to be 18 inches long to prevent the trellis from flipping over.

What is this, a trellis for micro toms!!
All jokes aside, looks good. 20G bags would be better, but I’m sure they will grow good.
Is he planning on stringing up cable and using tomato hooks?
