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. |
