I have used it. I used the metal fence posts used for chain link fences, hammered them into the ground at each corner of the garden, stretched the trellis tight between posts and put it into the little tabs that usually secure the links of a fence. It is very sturdy and I have successfully left it up in Connecticut over the winter. You can see some of them with some remnants of string on it here, and more in the background. I do find it a bit of a pain to clean up at the end of the year from dead plant materials, but with a good pair of pruners it isn't horrible.
