A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Food Garden Forum Trellis made...cuke's can climb now

Finished my cuke trellis enough for them to get climbing.
A few 2x4's , a 1x6 ,a 1x3, and a 2x2 for the framing . Used 14ga coated copper wire for the the webbing.

Finished enough for them to start growing on .... but I plan on weaving another color into the web of a design you can see when there's nothing growing on it ...hmmm what to weave??....wife said , a BIG snowflake ! ...man I love her

Also plan on adding something up on top yet too ...just not sure yet.

Today I think I'll be staining the ground timbers to define each section and to make it look more neat and clean

Now that looks great

Wow thats awesome!! Come on over neighbor!!

That's beautiful. Truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

way cool.

Thanks everyone , glad to share

Now I just want to see them cukes grow on it!, they seem to be growing slow

Didn't get to the staining the other stuff yet . With rain within 24hrs in the forecast, I didn't want to chance it washing off and contaminating the plants.

Mine are just poking through the soil this week..

MIne are flowering and I can baby cukes forming on some of the older flowers. I will definitely trellis next year. My Dad always just let his grow on the ground. I may spread some shredded bark to keep them out the dirt

Very nice trellis! I went cheap this year and got extra tomato cages to put over my cuke plants. Thankfully they didn't mind. They're climbing right up!
I just started seeing flowers on them this week YAY!

Your trellis is def inspiring plans for future projects I gotta tell ya it looks a million times better than a tomato cage anyday Can't wait to see ur snowflake when you get it woven!

very nice trellis

Thats a great idea Fairy I wonder if its too late to put mine on a cage??

If the vines arn't too tangled and long , you should be able to move them ...very gently. A 2nd person to help would make it even better.

We use to move our pumpkin vines around when they went wild.
