Trellises for your vines?... No thank you!

Home Brewed Trellis
We planted a few blooming vines on our backyard hoping they will eventually cover concrete blocks wall.
Now that spring have them growing madly I decided some trellises would make a nice addition... that was until I checked pricing online.
Instead I came up with a home brewed solution that I'd like to share with you here.
With a box of concrete screws, a roll of aluminum wire, power drill and impact driver in hand I set out to mounting my own trellis... if you can call it that!
On concrete block below top of wall I drilled two wholes separated vertically by one block and inserted screws on them. Repeated this operation every 4 feet or so all around.
After I had all screws in place I mounted aluminum wire alternating  top and bottom screw to form a kind of X in between.
Images below will give you a better idea.
