Abstract: A system for creating fixed plane structures such as vine trellises, fences, building structures, and barriers, wherein a plurality of generally parallel wires are placed in tension and maintained in mutually spaced relation by rigid interconnecting means so that laterally directed stresses imparted to some of the wires are transmitted to the other wires to cause each of the wires to bear some of the stress. The system permits the rapid installation of long fences, trellises and the like since the wires need to be anchored only at the terminals thereof to fixed points, and may be as long as required for the particular installation.
