Espalier Trellis - Installing the Cables - Part 1

I used some left over wire rope that was collecting dust in the garage and bought 8 U-bolt wire rope clamps and eye hooks.

I tied the string across to mark points on each post so my cable will be level.

Then I pre-drilled the hole for the eye hook.

and installed the eye hook. Tip : put a screw driver in the eye hook and use
it to turn the hook. It will save your finger tips.
