This is my first time building with EMT and my second year in this garden. The beds were built by a previous tenant. Living in the high desert we've got some gardening issues, namely sun+++, heat+++, dry+++ and wind+++. I wanted to create a trellis which would also have shade cloth on it.

Plan as I might, I'm not that great on paper or with models, I have to see it in the space. So I created this basic frame. I haven't secured it yet but it seems to be steady enough for now. At first I thought the shade clothe would be secured to the building and wall which would make the orientation north south. I now see that it is better to move this tall structure to the center bed and create a slightly shorter structure for the two outer beds so the shade will also orient east west and the slope of the shade cloth will protect from afternoon sun more than the am sun.

I'm still learning but I'm hooked. I've also painted the emt so they do not overheat. I'm thinking of this as a modular learning project. Glad I found Maker Pipe.
