We're getting a barely used (2 years old) greenhouse at a bargain on the condition that we've removed any trace of it, including the foundation, by October. Which is no problem whatsoever! Yay!
It comes with a massive old grapevine that we might not be able to transplant succesfully, but if moving this mothegrower fails, we've got a couple of cuttings we can plant instead.
But.. how to trellis (or whatchamacallit) these buggers?
I get that the roots need to be outside the greenhouse and the stock/trunk inside. At least that's the advice the current owners gave us. But how would y'all string up the grape bearing vines to make them easy to maintain, access and prune?

Nice greenhouse to have!
I grew a vine inside my greenhouse for a few years, but I ended up removing it as it took up too much space and also tended to get botrytis in September before it got ripe.
I now grow a couple of vines outside which I would recommend doing instead. You can get some early fruiting and very hardy varieties now if you are far north. I grow one from latvia I think, called supaga, it produces extremely well even though I’m in Scotland, not exactly well known for producing grapes
