Growing Cucumbers

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

I've seen very nice structures made exclusively from rebar.

Good point Anita. I wouldn't think you'd need a whole length of rebar to anchor it. Hopefully someone who has done it will explain.

Yes, Anita, rebar pounded down through the pipe for anchors. For many uses the copper is certainly strong enough to be pounded without any damage.

Here's what Jack just said:

3/4" pipe with rebar (if you wish - it's hard to get the 1/2" rebar pounded through the pipe) OR use longer pieces of the copper for a better anchor and no rebar would be needed. SOLDER, no glue.

Jack said he will write out the description if you need more information than what I've given here.

Thanks Pirl & Jack!

Our pleasure, Dave. They still want to wander so keep an eye on them and gently coax them back to the netting.

Thanks - I'll give it a try and yell if I get stuck!
