Greetings again:

as you can see, my squash are all over the place. Yes, I know I should have put up a trellis right when I planted them, but didn't.

Anyone have any ideas how to go about trellising some of these monster vines? I have four buttercup squash plants that are taking over the entire bed as well as the yard. I've had to pull them out of my bamboo and now they're going towards my back fence.

Do I put up the three-pole setup like people do with beans, do I go out and buy a piece of lattice and try and train them up, or should I just get some really big and sturdy poles and run some wire between them?
