Metric Measurements:
1) Cut Vertical Conduit: 2.44 meters
2) Cut Horizontal Conduit: 105 cm
3) Remesh: 213 x 108 cm
4) Cut Rebar: 107 cm
Here's what it would cost to build one trellis if you have to buy all of the materials:
Remesh - $7.25
Conduit - 3 x $1.99 = $5.97 (with some left over)
pull elbows: 2 x $2.26 = $4.52
Rebar - $5.20 (with some left over)
Zip ties - $4.97 (with lots left over)
Total - $27.91
