My Favorite Trellis For Any Climbing Plant | Cheap and Simple

This is my favorite way to trellis climbing plants like tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, peas, or anything else for your summer garden!

This is the perfect combo of inexpensive and easy DIY while still looking good for your garden beds!

Use it year after year and make it work to fit your preferred stringing, netting, or trellising method.

Most other methods I've tried sag in some way and I'm not interested in spending hundreds of dollars for an expensive metal trellis. This is my method and I hope it helps you!

I am definitely using this method. Thank you for sharing!

I built this two years ago. Exact same method but I split mine using a table saw and no wood preserver. I use the square netting you can get but I’ve been mostly using the for beans. Next year I’ll start trying tomatoes so I’ll lik at removing the square netting from two which now by now well aged in the sun and string horizontals. It’s definitely east and cheap compared to buying ready made in stores.

Using a wooden frame is not going to last long. I use tee posts with 1&1/2" pvc pipe over the posts. I connect them with more pvc pipe for my horizontals. Works great and if you paint the pvc it lasts for years and it's easy to take down. Just use silicone not pvc glue on your fittings so you can pull it apart easily at the end of the year. I've used this method for 8 years now with the same materials.

I like this idea. Any commercially available trellis are so expensive.

This video was really helpful. I watched the whole thing and really enjoyed it. I especially liked that you showed both the pros and cons and all the issues you had so that the viewer can make an informed decision with their own projects. What we really need and look for is inspiration and ideas and you totally fulfilled that. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I totally appreciate it because I am having such a hard time deciding what to go with. I'm going with the rollers...but how to put the posts in...I might consider this idea.

Really like this video. Instructional. Clear and informative. But most of all that you don’t drone on about nonsense. And filler. Good use of time. My veg garden isn’t starting till next year but this is good learning.

Your trellis looks great! I’m actually considering this kind of support for my garden next year. I’ll save this to my garden list for next year! Very informative. Thank you!

Your entire garden is very neat and pretty.

I had never thought of driving screws through the fence post to support the wood. Great idea. I'll be changing mine for next season. Good video dude.

Thanks! Gonna give this a try! I'm using containers (large tubs, 5 gal. buckets & small totes) on pallets at different heights for elevation to reduce strain on my back. I think I can attach the uprights to the pallets & run the string. 👍🏽💯

Great video, casual but informative.. Many

I did something very much like this. Instead of using wood, I used PVC pipe to make the same shape that slide over the same metal fence posts that you're using, and then wrapped strong line around some screws (that are screwed into the PVC) going horizontal, like the line in this video. If the line is loose, just wrap the excess line around the screw head.

Very good video thanks for the information.

I ordered $1-$4 worth of green string trellis from TEMU… I think 5x15ft. I might have to add a PVP pipe on top to secure it to the T-Posts.

I use wooden Stakes or 10-ft Conduit for my Tomatoes. I usually TOP my plants or get Determinate Variety along with Indeterminate. I don't really have a problem with Cucumbers, as they grow fine on the very Straw Hay themselves. My Cucumbers hardly get any kind of disease anyways. AS for my Beans, i COULD use a taller kind of Trellis, as they sometimesgrow pretty tall, lol!!! Good ideas though!!!

[bustymaiden]

there is a tool called a 'marking gauge' that basically draws a line down a board. love the trellis

[esmysyield]

Does the chemical your using to save wood leech out into the soil when it gets wet?

[calisingh]

Just not sturdy enough for our tomatoes, nice for beans maybe?
