I was searching for a better way to trellis our cucumbers and cantaloupes when I came across this as well as some others that were very tall, similar to a pergola. I was inspired!
I'll keep you posted on how well they work.
Using some deck wood we picked up from Craigslist's free section, the Hubby built me these.
They're about 4x5 feet and 2 feet tall. I only planted two regular cucumbers and two pickler cucumbers, but next year, I'll definitely start more. I took these pics the day he built it...it's been a week or so since they went up and the cucumbers seem much happier than before and are slowly creeping along the top.
Even the cantaloupes which were looking a little downtrodden are perking up. Although, I think I need new seeds, only two out of the eight I planted actually sprouted.
I'll keep you posted on how well they work.
