Homemade Trellis



We have trellises made of many different types of recycled materials around here. Sticks, strings, old clothing racks, junk metal welded together...
Climbing plants are pretty determined and are not too picky about what they climb up.

This is a new one we just made out of left over wood from a door remodel and string. We are growing three types of cucumbers under it and will train them up through the strings to give them something to hang on to.

  1. I always like to see the clever ways that people come up with ideas for reusing things for the garden. The trellis looks like it will hold your cucumbers nicely.

  2. I agree! I have a friend that used an old mattress (just the frame and springs) for her beans to climb on!
