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!

Thanks Ramona!

Very good video thanks for the information.

[@ruthannecoro6198]

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!

[@caskandroots]

Thanks for the support!

[@mywoolmitten]

Looks good, helpful tips, too. Thank you for sharing

[@caskandroots]

Thanks for the kinds words! Glad you got some value.

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.

[@caskandroots]

We love it too!

[@daddy1571]

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.

[@pm-100k]

Thats a good idea. How do you secure the PVC pipes to the tee posts? For example, he used decking screws to secure the wood to his tee posts.

[@daddy1571]

@@pm-100k You put the pipe directly over the t stakes and bend it to go very the opposite ones. You have to test how much bend you have before pounding the stakes in place.

Thanks. Great job

[@caskandroots]

Thank you too!

[@carenharris863]

Your entire garden is very neat and pretty.

[@caskandroots]

Thank you!

[@charlesscarborough7424]

I like it. Gonna try it.

[@caskandroots]

Hope you find it helpful!

[@lindasbackyardgarden728]

looks great

[@caskandroots]

Thanks Linda!

[@nikolateslawirelessradio]

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.

[@caskandroots]

We are always looking for new ideas and this is absolutely not perfect. But for me it answers 3 things…low cost, I can get height, and nothing sags or leans (and it looks decent in the garden). Hope it helps you!

[@drewblack749]

Love it. Where is the link to the wood preserve? Thanks so much.

[@caskandroots]

@@drewblack749 amzn.to/3Ptu5Za Sorry about that!

[@lynnd627]

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.

[@caskandroots]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jcoats5529]

😂 the end is hilarious

[@caskandroots]

Got to get ahead of the trolls 😂

[@dkjones4798]

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. 👍🏽💯

[@caskandroots]

Hope it works out for you!!

[@camiele4]

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.

[@Kate-gx5yc]

I like it.

[@caskandroots]

Thanks Kate!

[@esmysyield2023]

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

[@SokemRokemRobot]

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.

[@caskandroots]

PVC is such a good tool for the garden. we use wood as much as we can because it’s inexpensive, easy to work with, has nice rigidity and looks nice (most of the time).

[@NoirMorter]

Could you better support the posts by screwing the u-post on the bottom directly into the raised bed?

[@Gardeningnature768]

good park graden

[@benaires07]

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!!!

[@caskandroots]

conduit can be a great material to use in the garden....very inexpensive too!

[@benaires07]

It's always good to know ALL sorts of Arsenal at your disposal. You might have a bountiful harvest, and knowing how to Trellis for beans or Cucumbers is especially good for hot climates!!! You gotta use what you know!!

[@calisingh7978]

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

[@Myh0rs3]

Not good in wind unless you brace it in some way.

[@bustymaiden]

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

[@caskandroots]

I have no idea why I don’t own that. Thanks for the suggestion!
