I plant which-ever sugar snap pea that the display rack has in stock...I don't use any particular cultivar. For a trellis, I use sections of cattle panel wire cut in 3-foot lengths (makes a 3' vertical x 4' long section). One 16' panel makes 5 sections of trellis. I trim the bottom cross-bars off, so that there are 6" vertical spikes on the bottom of the wire section. I press those into the ground, then tie sections together with plastic cable ties. I sometimes add a short (4-foot) U-post at the joints and cable-tie the post to the wire for extra support if the vines are extra heavy or if there is a very windy spell.

In this photo, you can't see the section of wire in the ground, or the top row of the wire panel.
