With the Cucumber vines starting to take over the garden, we wanted a way to keep the vines easily managed. Since we had some extra 5/4" x 6" x 8' boards (treated) we decided to put together a simple trellis. The boards are attached to the raised bed frame using 2 1/4" screws (about 5). There is no support beams at this time since I want to conserve as many of these boards as I can. We then ran 2" chicken wire from one board to the other. The wire is held in place by some 1"x2"x?' hard wood slates that we picked up for free. Since this stuff is very hard, we had to pre-drill pilot holes. The slates are connected to the boards using 1" or so screws. Now we just have to train the vines to climb it. Ideally, we should be able to walk under the trellis and pick cucumbers. We'll see what happens.
