That's pretty useless.

Use jute twine and buy the correct grapes for your climate. Duh. What would that take? All of 30 seconds? Video is a waste of time.

OK, I checked it out.. It's not a very complete or informative video. Nice try though!

We grow grapes in South Texas and use a patio cover as an arbor. Our vines are supported by harvested bamboo, which grows wild in urban ditches here. Fresh bamboo is remarkably bendable, so we take a 10-12' piece, stick one end in the planter or the ground, and arch the bamboo up to the patio cover where it is attached with a batten. We've used ditch harvested bamboo to build lattice style plant supports, too, by interlacing shorter pieces horizontally and tying the pieces with jute twine. Thanks for your video!
