Installing Trellis Wire Turnbuckles
Tools Needed: Drill, ⅜" Drill Bit, ½" Drill Bit, Wrenches, Ratchet & Sockets,
1. Turn all turnbuckles to fully open before installation.
2. Place the eye bolt through the trellis bar and secure the nut between the
greenhouse plastic and the trellis bar.
3. Carefully uncoil the wire rope to the opposite side.
4. Install the eye bolt of the second turnbuckle into the horizontal bar on the
opposite side as you did on the first side.
5. Coil loose wire through Turnbuckle. Pull as tight as possible to remove slack in
the cable.
6. Use two wire clamps to secure the wire rope, one near the turnbuckle and the
other to secure additional cable out of the way. Turn one side's turnbuckle until
the wire is tight. Once all lines are installed, adjust for even tightness. Wrap the
ends of the wire with electrical tape to avoid scratching.
As the season progresses and plants are trellised, growing, and bearing fruit you can
adjust for weight and slack in the wire by tightening the turnbuckles.
