- This is one of my favorite ways to DIY garden trellises. I’ve made about 7 for my garden so far. They’re simple, inexpensive, functional and add beauty to any space!
My go-to large nursery containers ( i highly recommend the 25 gallon and 15 gallon sizes).

FANTASTIC!
I just realized today that I have to many climbing plants for my raised garden beds. I was going to use chicken wire fencing to trellis everything up, but I am using a cane and don't have the strength to do it.
Now this I can do, so grateful to you sweet child, you made my day and now I can continue to finish my garden.
At my age, 73 years, I'm able to grow all the climbing vegetables for the senior citizens in my neighborhood. I fond it so much fun and great exercise, but who has the money for these outrageous prices. I'm always looking for ways to keep the cost down. Thank God I saw this video. Please show us more.
I love you! Thank you for being you and being amazing. I am forever thankful.
Girl when you used your tummy to bend the arches… subscribed. we friends now. I love you 😭
hah! yes I was won over with that too haha
@@samatronn LOL, a year or so later, I did the same! We have to use what we have and if it’s a tummy? Go for it! 🎉
😂😂
😀😀
🤣
We women have our own way of doing things, and I appreciate the inexpensive DIY trellis! Good job!
I’ve seen some trellis builds and while they look stunning and gorgeous, I’m still a bit intimidated to give them a try 😅 one day, I’ll give it a shot but until then, I like these types of trellises that doesn’t require a whole lot of tools or supplies and can be set up in no time!
I like the fact that they dont take hours to make. You do what most would rather do. I love your personality. 😉
Nice garden and trellis, is it sturdy in strong wind too?
I like your smile👌
In which state and zone you are in?
You are just so real! I love that you showed all your work and oops’ssss….lol! All while smiling! You are a joy! Thank you 😊
Thank you! The truth is, when I first started making content, I wanted everything to be perfect. I’d cut out all the mistakes so I wouldn’t embarrass myself but the truth is, gardening is always gonna be full of mistakes! Some big, some small but keeping that in might helps others not feel alone if they ever mess up too. Gardening is a journey of learning and most importantly having patience… lots and LOTS of patience!😁
Gardening can also be for those without a green thumb, lol. Like me. Best to not stress, and like you say, learn as you go, and enjoy the journey.
You remind me of myself and ispire me. I have my 1 bed apartment, paying $2200 in rent, no yard of course, but damn right I'm making full use of my large balcony with 2 tables filled with plants, 2 raised beds, hummingbird feeder (which they do come), and now a trellis!
Oh! And a peach tree on my front patio 😁
Thank you! ❤
An idea is to layer two ladders, offsetting the cross bar, so then you don't have to add the X's in the each empty space.
They'd be sturdier, too.
Add ladders together and make it wider. Wonder how much weight it can hold before collapsing.?
Hmm good idea
Mine, after excitedly watching this video, is thus: I wired 2 together side by side. I then wired a third, with the doubled long side of the previous pair running down the middle. This 3rd one is also offset so thT the crossbar is centered between the cross bars of the others. (I used zipties.) In the open space to the right of the center ladder, I ran a braided polyester cord zigzag from one right angle to the next, and mirrored it in the space on the left side of the structure. I had to dig a little to put the middle section's longer side in the ground. With zip ties I attached the center double vertical to rebar instead of wooden posts. It looks good! I hope the Armenian cucumbers like it as much as I do! *Thank you* for getting me started!
I love your video. I like the fact that you dont have a garage with electric tools and measuring devices. You made it fun and easy. I get tired of the $100+ DIY's with everything perfectly measured and put together with power tools. They wear me out! You made a real video with inexpensive supplies and made it feel like ANYONE could do it. No matter your skill level,age, or amt of money. Great job. Gardening is expensive enough w/o having to buy barriers and trellis's for hundreds more dollars. Thank you for keeping it real.🤗 You are cute and funny. Sorry you had to unwrap your trellis that was too tall. I think I would have cut off a few inches from the bottom! 🤣
Subscribed at “is my camera cracked ?! *gasp* Yup. We r friends now 😂
Loved her "is my camera cracked?"
Watching this in February of '24, I thank you for teaching me some ways to solve technical issues I'd been thinking about recently..Great ideas!!!
So wonderful to see a young innovative , mechanical and practical woman growing a productive garden in a small space.
Look forward to viewing more of your videos.
I know! I’m so inspired by this beautiful, cheerful, innovative young lady that I subscribed.
“Have you guys seen that episode of The Office when Michael Scott is building stuff?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love your video. Thanks for the ideas.❤️
The garden is your oyster and you are my cup of tea! Loving your ideas & style!
Your words are so kind! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart☺️
I really do mean it, my dear. Thanks for sharing your wisdom! @@DiariesofaPlantGirl
I'm not in the climate that I can train pomegranates, but it's about time to plant peas around here!
Wow! Great Idea. I've never heard of ladder mesh. I'm glad you produced this video. I'm a second year gardener.
Good luck on your garden and I hope you’re able to make lots of cool trellises for your vertical plants!☺️
I have a small car and I thought I would have to rent a uhall to get cattle panels. This is a life saver! Thank you so much! Keep up the wonderful work!
Thank you so much! I wish you all the best in your garden endeavors and hope all your trellises fill with beauty and abundance☺️
How do you transport it in a car? Do you bend it or roll it? I found them at Lowes and returned home without them as I dint know how to fit 10 ft of it in my car. Please tell me how to transport it.
@@minkuzzz I ended up using a minivan. You can fold them and zip tie them shut. I asked the people that work there if they could fit it into my van and they did! With a car you might be able to tie it down on the roof after it's folded. You may need to ask the workers to help you do this. Just an idea.
I've been using the ladder mesh for years. Instead of using wires I use zip ties, which are cheap and much faster. I also go around and collect old political sign wire (called H brackets at Home Depot) and zip tie them together. Recycling!
What do I search to find that, she didn't say what it was called nor the price. Thanks!!
Does it rust after awhile?
Heck yeah, it's almost election Day ♥
If you lve in a very hot, sunny area as I do, zip ties won't last; the sun makes the plastic brittle and they snap easily.
You can get metal zip ties if you don't like plastic.
Thank you sweetheart❤ you’re still helping other gardeners succeed! I’m have a very small townhome garden and cattle panels aren’t an option. I’ve been in Lowes and Home Depot for years and NEVER noticed these 🥴 Thank you so much! Happy gardening everyone 🪴🌱🫛🌱🪴
I’m watching you and realizing that I can use this method to build my own arching support for the patio garden that gets whipped by the wind. WooHoo! 🥳 You saved us sooo much money, and these can be custom-made for each individual area or plant. Thank you. 🙏
You just gave me a GREAT IDEA on how to make a tunnel in my garden with netting. Thank you!
R.I.P. to the 99 cents stores!!! I loved their inexpensive garden & holiday products throughout my whole life!
I'm watching this in the last week of April 2024, and you've given me such inspiration!!! I have seeds left over from my Hyacinth vines, and I wish to grow them again at my new house in the desert. I miss their flowers!
Thank you! thank you!
You've found a new subscriber!
This is the first one I've seen that shows how to attach it to the outside of a bed. TY!
I’m happy this video was helpful!☺️ attaching it to the outside made a world of a difference!
@Diaries of a Plant Girl heck yeah! I went with something like thick gauge chicken wire bc that is better for my needs but I'm applying the same concept
Quick thought... instead of cutting the wire so much to make the Xs, just start at one end, attach it, go across diagonally to the next corner, wrap once or twice, cross diagonally to the next corner, wrap once or twice and so on until you hit the end. Then start the next wire on the opposite side where you ended, do the same thing (only hitting the corners opposite from where you've already wired) but stop in the center to wrap once before continuing on.
It's possible you'll run out of wire before hitting the end, but, technically, you should use less wire (I'm tired so I could be wrong on this one, it'll either be less or the same) and you DEFINITELY will cut the wire fewer times.
Not sure I can get this stuff in Canada but I'll definitely check into it because your idea is awesome!
I like that you are a real person doing real life projects even making those real life mistakes that we OCDs must correct! Thanks for being real!
lol do you think she's a hologram?Women talk weird.
Love this idea! I discovered this two years ago and saved a little time by connecting them With zip ties. The x’s to provide more support for the plants is genius! And the side by side idea? Genius!
One does have to plan for zip ties breaking as sun eventually wrecks the plastic. So galvanized wire would last much longer.
Oh my gosh, girl you just made me laugh so hard, I'm a newbie backyard gardener and watching so many RUclips vids, all serious like, and I was getting overwhelmed and discouraged. You just magically (HP⚡- 9 3/4😉) made it fun and down to earth again, thank you so much for keeping a sense of humor even in the challenges. Thank you so much for the inspiration, Lord bless ya!🌿🌳🌻🌱🌷😁
You might like David the Good's channel. He is brilliant at showing how to create an awesome garden with hardly any money.
This is exactly how I felt too! I was like, so discouraged because there are so many creators that are fixated on being serious and it doesn’t open up the door to people just starting out. Def gonna follow this channel from now on
I use ladder mesh all the time but use zip ties. They do last quite a while plus I often take them down each year so the weather is off of them during the Winter ❄️ great job!!!!
Me too
Roots and Refuge is also done to Earth. They have recently relocated to a large area so you might like the older videos better.
This was great. I really enjoyed it.
Delightful video. I got into straw-bale gardening last year because my space is very limited. Was accidentally & ridiculously very successful. Used cattle panel in an arch shape to grow beans & cukes and it was so spectacular that I had people asking to get married under it! However, this the ladder mesh approach is cheaper & easier and will fit some smaller spaces I’m now going to be able to fill and fit with trellis! Brilliant idea. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Thank you and that sounds lovely! I’d like to try and experiment stare bales this year as well. Wishing you the best of luck on your trellises!
@@DiariesofaPlantGirl Make sure it's clean straw with no persistent herbicides sprayed on it 👍
I saw the tree u wanted to vine is on the outside of the trellis is that how water mellons should be placed? I new and first time attempting this and want to make sure i place my container garden correctly, Thanks.
@@christianlaws8204I'm also really curious how to use these for watermelon. Do you hold the fruits up with bags to add support?
Girl I think you just put me on game to be able to grow more on the low cost side. Thank you. Def 👍🏾
Great Job!
You actually don’t need the wire for theX’s…. It can be done with kitchen string and quickly tied the whole length on one side before coming back in the other direction to cross as an X, as I found that many climbing plants like Morninglory and clematis, etc. need a VERY tiny, thin line to grab onto ….and at the end of the season it’s easy to just cut out the string in the middle of your ‘fence’and grab off all the dead plant material in one bunch…works for me! The string is covered in no time and not visible during the growing season, and I found it keeps My Archway clear of plant debris and ready for the following year by just cutting off a couple of yards of skinny white string from the dollar store at the end of the season…. Plus I find it easier to make it really tight. Whereas twisting wire is hard on my hands…cheap too.
Can’t wait to see your backyard in full season ! Good ideas!
Thank you for doing the trellis construction while you talk about the materials and your garden. I appreciate what you do!
Young lady... I really enjoyed your video. You are so down to earth and pleasant! I am a newbie and I was searching YT for a trellis/lattice idea for my attempt at gardening. Your example is definitely more simple than spending alot of money on lattice and building the frame etc etc, then... What if I don't succeed at planting? I'd be so mad I spent the time and money for my plants not survive n thrive. I am definitely gonna watch you for more ideas and tips. Thank you and keep smiling!
I am definitely going to make these for all of my pole beans this year and probably the cucumbers,cowpeas,smaller melons and other suitable climbers. Thanks!
I wish you the best of luck! I know they’ll look gorgeous covered in vines ☺️
you solved my trellis problem by sharing yours thank you. Also showing you needed to redo gave me what to watch and plan for. Thank you
Haha oh my gosh the ending, I love that for you! This is to the point and gives you resources couldn't have asked for a better video.
This is Brilliant! Thank you for this video! A pre-made trellis was so expensive and I was trying to fig out how to make one cheap.
Yay! Another Arizona gardener! As soon as I saw the block wall, I knew! 😂
I came across your channel this morning, as I was trying to figure out to do some trellising for a greenhouse I have on order. Thank you for sharing what you chose. As I was watching, my husband started watching with me, and he said "She is just like you" in ref. to how you share, talk and smile. Keep the green and colorful garden growing!!
I laugh so hard because I can see myself just like that. SYMMETRY!!!
You're a Star Gardener for sure! Thank you for the great tips and oh my... the amazing example of perseverance!!
Thank you so so much!!💚
You made laugh hard when you mentioned the table Michael Scott built in the office 😂😂😂
Haha that’s exactly how I feel when I’m building anything! I have to channel his energy😂
Thank you for posting this video!! It’s very helpful! I am planning to go to Home Depot and dollar store tomorrow to make a trellis for my young grapevine.
FINALLY... something easy & inexpensive that I can actually do!! Thanks for the great idea & inspiration 🥰🤚🌿
Thank you so much for your kind words and I’m happy this video was helpful for you! I haven’t built one of these trellises in a while but I must say, it was definitely one of my favorites ☺️
You running is literally me because we ain’t got time to be wasting! 🤣🥰
I applaud your creativity, ingenuity, and budget-friendly approach. You are a very hard worker and your garden certainly shows it! Thanks for sharing your ideas!
I know. She's fantastic !
I just came across this video and I’m 100% going to try this!!! I grew morning glories from seed and they are almost to the point of taking over one corner of my greenhouse so I have to get them in the ground tomorrow and I had no idea what to use for trellises so this is going to be it. I’m so excited 😆
Really cool. Yeah, when I learned to sew and made a mistake I had to go all the way back to the beginning of my project (taking out every stitch) and redo the whole thing! I know it’s hard, but that’s what you do. No, you’ll never get the time back, but what you do get is the chance to ALWAYS look at the thing done right! Great job, the trellis looks great, I’ll try this.
I sew too. I call the ripping part "practice"! : )
This is an amazing and cheaper idea. I will definitely make this for my raised beds this gardening season. I will also use them for my beans and climbing roses. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! You’re so SMART & creative! Not only that, you’re funny, & I get the sense you’re as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside! THANK YOU for sharing your precious time, creativity, ideas, & etc, with all of us! Just came across your channel, & I will definitely be back! Sending hugs your way, & wishing you & your sweet garden the best!😊
I like the idea of filling in the gaps with X's. I think I'll use one long wire for the whole trellis length, less cutting and wire ends.
I love that idea and wish I’d thought of that sooner as well! Definitely would’ve saved a lot of time!
Working in a zigzag patten up and back you can both secure the sides while adding the x"s in between. A lot less cutting. I do like the idea of using zip ties also, but using the wire would give it a rustic look
I’ve been planning to do my gardening for the longest. Now you motivated me to start mine. Thank you. God bless.
Thank you for your kind comment! You can do it!☺️
You are just too cute. Lol I loved the video. You are very down to earth and real. First gardening video that I really enjoyed. I have watched so many but they are all so serious. You've made it fun and a joy to watch. Thank you! I've subscribed!
Thank you so much Tammy! That means a lot to me!☺️
I’m so glad I stumbled on your video. I’ve been looking to make inexpensive trellis…thank you
This is such an awesome idea and my mind is spinning on projects.
I absolutely love your video! I know exactly how you felt about the trellises not being the same size, I would have done the exact same thing and been fussing the entire time 😅 Thank you for making this video. 🌱💚
Make a trellis for a scarlett runner bean plant for your hummingbirds. Beautiful red flowers. The hummingbirds love them.I Love the shadow created from the trellis . Adds a new depth.
I’ve never grown scarlet runner beans but I definitely will now! I adore hummingbirds! Thank you so much for your recommendation 😊
@@DiariesofaPlantGirl The beans are really sweet and edible when they are 4 inches then they will grow 6-8 inches long if left on til spring and produce your seeds for next year. I had one grow in my front window. It was in a pot. Happy growing😊 I also made a t pee out of sticks, tied them together at the top, made holes for them to stick into the ground, added a seed and bammm a tee pee filled with humming birds.
Thank you for this! I am a newbie gardener in Arizona but it has been hard to find gardeners in Arizona that deal with the zoning and are able to help me understand how to garden in Arizona.
Thanks for this great video. I been looking for ways to improved my garden without spending too much. I have invested so much already I feel like each lettuce head it’s costing me $50 a piece 😂
I just found your channel, love your positivity ❤️
Haha me too! Have you ever read the book "The $64 tomato: How One Man Nearly Lost His Sanity, Spent a Fortune, and Endured an Existential Crisis in the Quest for the Perfect Garden" by William Alexander? It's pretty old now so it's fairly cheap in bookstores or on kindle. Hilarious :)
Thank you so much for making this video! I have been feeling teaching myself how to do things in the garden but I really can’t spend so much money. I appreciate all of these resources because not only do you get a very functional result, you ALSO get a super good looking one too! I can’t say thank you enough 🙏
This looks super pretty! I’m going to give it a try.
omg, thank you!! I saw the expensive version of this on another YT and knew there was a cheaper option but didn't know the name or where to look. Lots of good practical advice!
This is such a great idea. AND affordable!! Thanks for sharing!
Nice video! It was fun to watch and I also love your T shirt. 9 3/4. So awesome 👌
Thank you so much!😊
Thank you so much for this video!
I really needed an inexpensive option to the cattle wire this summer.
This is cool. I’ve seen and bought a cattle panel last year. But this is the first time I’ve seen this ladder mesh idea. Thank you 🤗🌱
I love this! It's such a great option for people with little cars❤️
Great DIY trellis project, I can relate to just cleaning my yard and it's a mess again. 😂 Loved watching your video!
Great and creative idea, love your style! Thank you!
Omg this is amazing! I can not get cattle panel easily in NY and I have been considering getting the ladder mesh and I was trying to figure out how to use it. Thank you for this video. And literally your garden looks amazing and not messy AT ALL! New subscriber here
I think you can buy it at any tractor supply store but home depot will be cheaper thanks
@@karenc4591 I was able to buy some ladder mesh at home depot! Thank you!
Just be aware, dear viewers, that cattle panel is extremely heavy, need a truck and a second very strong person to install it. On the other hand, the wire mesh is pretty light and easy to install but don't use it for heavy perennials like roses or wisteria. Just fine for annual flowering vines like morning glory, red cardinal vine...
I have not found this anywhere!
Girl, you’ve got a new sub! I am loving this idea, thank you!
Love how explain as you work! You have inspired this new gardener!!
What a great way to make a garden arch, I will try to make a few. Thank you 😊
Thank you for such a clever and economical idea/tutorial!
Thank you!!! I've been looking for a way to trellis my melons but don't have the room in my small SUV to get a cattle panel like I wanted. This is much more doable!
How do u vine ur mellons on the outside of the trellis or inside?
I enjoyed watching you build the trellis❤
I love how candid you are🤗❤️🦋
Thanks for sharing what you know🍀
Uhhhh this is brilliant! Loving it. I have to try this! Thanks for sharing.
What a great idea for a small space garden! Thank you for posting.
I’ve been using these but never thought about joining two! I will definitely make some doubles for my berries and passionfruit. Thanks!
Good job! I love your sense humor. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching, I hope you have a lovely day!☺️
Nice job! Thank you for sharing! I’ll be doing that in my garden this year!
Loved this video and you! So glad it showed up on my feed. I’ll be bingeing this channel!!
They are so cute can’t wait to see how they look all filled out! ❤
Yeah! You just saved me! I need to do this now. Thank you.
Love the Office…you have great sense of humor…applies to me too. Great money saving project!
Oh girl, leave it be. They look great. Don't sweat the small stuff. Keep rock and rolling. 💗 Thanks for sharing!!!
I'm ordering supplies right now! Thanks for this cute Idea.
I've been gardening for decades. Just a word: when you're working with ladder mesh and other materials, if you wear gloves (they don't have to be thick, just cushioning) it won't take such a toll on the bones, tendons, etc. in your hands/wrists.
Thank you for the advice! I agree and have started making more of an effort to protect my hands while working with materials like those because it really does take a toll over time. I remember the day I built the trellises, my hands felt so sore and blistered afterwards because I didn’t wear gloves. They’re a must have for these types of projects moving forward for sure!☺️
What a great idea!! You made a terrific vid, explained it well, made me think even I can do this, and have a lovely smile and garden! Thanks!
I love money saving and yet still so beautiful ideas like this - thanks!
Besides all your great ideas, thank you, thank you, thank you for speaking, loud enough for your viewers to hear without having to use an external speaker! ❤
Haha thank you! My neighbors probably wonder why I’m always in the garden talking to myself😁
@@DiariesofaPlantGirl LOL. Better than MY neighbors, who call the city on me because I let my wild onion patch go un-mowed until the seed heads drop. It’s not like we live in an uppity neighborhood…just folks with too much time on their hands! 😜
I have really enjoyed this video! You have great ideas and are super funny! Love it!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it and love bringing you all along for this garden journey!
Freaking genius 👏. Girl I've been using the straight tomato cages for my melons, cucumbers and squash for years sigh. Really any veggies with vines but your method will save me more space to grow below for growing my cabbage! Girl thank you! New subbie
Just beautiful and practical at the same time! You are a great teacher!!
gurl! you saved me from the logistical nightmare of trying to figure out how to get some hog/goat/cow panel to my house from TSC with no pickup truck! You're the real MVP!
Thanks for the video!! I am excited for spring to come😁
Thank you for watching Jewell! Though the nights are still very cold, the days are starting to warm up here! Spring is just around the corner 😁
What a great idea with minimal costs! Thanks for posting this video!
I love you! So much fun to watch, and you remind me of me--only I use zip ties for everything! Thanks for all the ideas-I am going to get these tonight at Menards!!
You have a lovely garden. The hummingbirds are a nice added touch.
Awesome video!! And I absolutely love, love, love that you wanted to make them all match so there’d be symmetry! I totally get that and I would do the same thing. I’m getting ready to put up some of the elevated garden beds from Costco so I’m saving your video. Thanks so much! xo
Thank you for the alternative to cattle panels!! This ladder mesh will be perfect and much more manageable for me.
Thank you for this. I was just getting ready to go to Home Depot to look at trellis and raised beds. You have given me inspiration. ❤
Love your video. Glad I found you. Your garden looks great
I love making trellises!! Absolutely love learning to use metal. I used wire before to build trellises from live cut saplings. I like the idea of using metal. Metal also energizes your plants when it storms.
Yea, I just planted some climbing roses and now I have a wonderful project to do...thanks.
