The Tomato trellis' are made from the following:
Qty 2 - 10 foot 1/2" Electrical Conduit
Qty 1 - 1/2" Female to Female Conduit Connector
Qty 2 - 18inch(or longer) 3/8" Rebar

I bent one end of each of the conduit pipes. so the look like a rounded L shape. When the two pieces are joined together in the middle, the base of the trellis is approximately 4 foot wide and the entire trellis stands approximately 6 feet tall. The trellis support will look like a huge upside down U.

I used trellis netting that I hooked to the metal frame.

I drove the rebar into the ground leaving enough above ground to provide support to the trellis. Make sure it is deep enough to support a full trellis with any wind and/or weight of the vines on the trellis.

The metal leaning trellis' supporting the cucumbers were purchased from a website and are not home made.
