The 1" X 2" Trellis will not hold large-fruited plants like tomatoes, cucumbers, and melons, but Pole beans and pole peas work well that way.

We actually prefer a little narrower box, with planting lengthwise using 4" X 4" T-Frames, which are much sturdier.

An example follows, which also shows PVC arches over two sets of T-Frames, thus allowing earlier planting in the spring and protection against frost in the fall.
