Post photos or instructions for trellises and plant supports you’ve built yourself.
One simple DIY trellis idea is to use wooden stakes and garden wire. Start by driving two stakes into the ground about four feet apart, then run horizontal wires between the stakes, spacing them about a foot apart. This creates a sturdy support for climbing plants like peas or beans. You can also add diagonal bracing with additional stakes for extra stability. If you want a more decorative touch, consider using bamboo poles arranged in an A-frame shape, which works great for cucumbers and squash.
Another great DIY trellis idea is to use a repurposed old ladder. Simply stand it against a wall or fence, and you can train climbing plants like morning glories or clematis to grow up the rungs. If you prefer a more rustic look, you can also attach some chicken wire or twine across the ladder for additional support. This not only provides a sturdy structure but also adds charm to your garden space. Plus, it’s an excellent way to recycle materials!
