Here is a picture of the joint. As you can see I just drilled a hole in the pvc to receive the 1/2" conduit. The posts are actually spaced 5' apart. Leaving 30" on each end. The conduit is actually very strong. And the weight is divided between the two.
I knew as I grow more varieties I needed something cheaper than tomato cages. These cost me a little over $20 for a 10' trellis. I have 5 Tomatoes under one of these.
