A little about us:
In September 2015, our hearts were hijacked with the dream of living on a large farm, with community, growing food, caring for animals and loving on children in need of care and healing. It was a God moment, where our dreams collided with His dreams… a dream so big we could never do it in our own strength and wisdom. Since then, we have been on a journey to see that dream become a reality. This channel documents that journey.

It's a good video, don't get me wrong. But, you don't need hog rings and a tool. I've used zip ties or some cheap galvanized wire (like 20g). You can also get creative with the trellis materials for cheap. eg. I have used cheap welded wire fencing with wooden and bamboo stakes to reinforce the teepee shape. Most cucumbers plants are not heavy even when fully fruiting.
Thanks for a really great video. Watched it just at the right time.
Beautiful garden! Thanks for making it easier for us.
Looks great! Simple and practical.
Wow love your video. Definitely gonna do this type of trellis. Thank you for the work you do for the children. God Bless you
I looked at so many videos and finally found what I wanted for my cucumbers and melons. Thanks so much for sharing your trellis which is very easy to assemble. Happy gardening 🥒🍉🍈
Zip ties work great there cheap and easy to use and they come in different sizes and colors 😊
Yes but they don't last through the second season in cold climates.
I use the same concept, but if you cut the horizontal bar off, it’ll leave you with a spike every 6” that you can stick in the ground. Works great in soft soils, not to good in harder soils. Keeps you from tying the two ends together, or using steaks.Great video thank you
I do the same thing and use cable ties at the top.
I love a good steak dinner. Yum!
Agreed, I do the same with other types of uses for the this mesh
😊h😊 n😅
Simple and yet looks like it will do the job! I like the “clean” look so much better compared to other trellises. Thanks!
Just found your channel. This is a great idea and my husband and I are going today to get everything you showed and build our trellis. 😁 We are both looking forward to learning more great things. Blessings 🙏
Just what I pictured for the bed I’m building! Thanks
Now I really like the look of those raised beds. Much better than the tubs.😊
liking your videos, thanks great learning content!! I shared with friends, who are gardening, also we are all in Florida ..look forward to more
You could also run a 2x2 board thru the panel openings at the bottom and screw it into the sides of the bed as you did with that center support board. THAT would definitely keep it from blowing down!
Thanks for the video. This is exactly what i was looking for. Many have a fixed trellis, but i like the idea that you can store this flat when your not using it and you can move it around the garden for rotating your crops.
I think the only thing I would do difference is I would cut the bottom rail off that attaches to the ground where it would make several spikes along your hog fence to put like 4 inches into the ground. Thanks for the video. Definitely going to try this one out in my garden, happy gardening. Ed.
"Smaller squares at the bottom" great tip! Sometimes the simplest stuff just eludes me. Lol
We were just thinking of new ways to go vertical, and this is genius! Thanks GF&G!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
I used to use a pvc pipes with metal rod in their cavity to reinforce them, but they are slightly
bulky and your videos is just at the right time and what a great idea.
I’ve watched a ton of gardening videos and by far this method is the best I’ve seen.
Your method is cool. I used heavy duty tie wraps. I already had tent pegs and used them to limit movement. Nice presentation!
Great job mister! Thank You for good video!
Love it
I’ve done the other ways too but I like this thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing! I’m doing this one!
I didn’t know about that ring tool. I like it! I just use small zip ties and it works great too.
You mention how the hog rings made it so much easier. I was thinking about how it made it SAFER by not having twisted wire sticking out. My experience tells me that can cut deep. Thanks for the video.
Great ideas! Thank you 👍🏽❤️
Nice video. Looking for different methods to build a trellis. I like this method a lot. What I like about it you can move it out or to another tailed bed if you need to.
A suggestion on the bottom wire would be to use 4 tent stakes. One on each corner.
I think I'm going to use this one. Also if the hog rings aren't to tight you can fold them together for easier storage.
Ty for the video.
I made trellises like this year's ago starting my squash patch. It was before everyone knew about cattle panels. Mine were actually used previously for....cattle!
You could have cut a space in the panels for the side of your raised bed. You'd then still have full panels if you need in the future.
Mine looked pretty cool with squash hanging down in the center.
A post on each end with the peaks attached to it will hold it where you want it. 👍
Just one thing that I would add, is where you cut the panels you are left with a "spike at the opposite end of the next piece. I would use those "spikes" to dig into the ground for more support. Just a thought...
Great video. Thanks!
Super awesome
Great idea, I needed to see this!! Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
beautiful garden ! ive used the hog fencing also but to cut it i used an angle grinder with a cut of wheel and then put a grinder wheel on to smooth out the sharp edges so the grand kids dont accidently cut themselves.
looks great
What a GREAT idea/vid. These trellisses...trellises...trelli...what-ev....are so crazy expensive in the catalogs. Now, I just have to figure out where to get the hog-fencing. If I can't find it, I'll improvise using my 48" tomato cages from Tractor Supply (but, they're not cheap, so I'll do more research). Also, I might just use zip-ties instead of hog-rings for securing the tops.
I've been doing this for 20 years, cattle pannels are very versatile
Others have done similar videos. Your video, however, is superior in it's detail and application. We'll done.
Thanks a lot, very helpful to me
Very informative video.
Great idea, I needed this idea, than you
New Sub! I just purchased these Today! The panels. So Your Trellis is Awesome. Love the info. Now to tackle the beds I have are smaller. 8ft ×2 That's okay my Capacity just became larger..
My Cowboy and I used Hog rings too ❤ we made cages for our sweet peppers so the birds don't peck the leaves
Fantastic 🏆👍🏾
I subscribed to you `cause you know what a hog ring was originally for! 👍
I like it. I'll prob just zip tie the top. I like that it can easily fold to store during winter.
G'day mate
I see two easier ways to fix bottom cut the bars
Between base leaving spikes to push into soil or use a couple tent pegs
It may make it quicker and easier just different options
I made permanent one using 50 x 50 poles with heavier wire screwed to post with metal tags
This was for a hedging trellis
Cheers mate hope it helps 🦘🇦🇺👍
I love your garden so much im from the Philippines I love planting vegetables god bless you
🌼🌸🌺very nice , great idea ! 🌼🥒🌳thanks for sharing !
A hog panel can cost $22.00 per sheet. If you will buy a concrete wire panel, they are only $15.00 and they cut and bend more easily.
Where do you buy this hog panel? I went to Home Depot and another big box store and they looked at me like I am the third eye.
@@RGShaklee101 I bought mine at Menards.
And rust out in a few years use hog fence for a lifetime.
Go to tractor supply or rural king. Agway would have also. Any place that sells farm supplies.
I had thick electrical romex wire that I cut into 8" pieces. Bent them in half for steaking into the dirt.
zap straps are super easy to tie together
I plan to use cement wire mesh screen. Once I cut it in half, I will have a 3.5 tall X 3.5 wide. Do you think this will work? If not, where can I purchase the long Hog wire you have? What is the actual size of each square after you cut them?
Could've put a couple of "electroculture" antennas up through the center of the A frame.
I use biodegradable string in my garden because I do not like picking out bits of wire and broken tie wraps.
The problem using zip ties ( I thought of using them) is the UV from the sun degrades them pretty quickly (one season)
Hello, is the metal to hot for the plant? We do vertical gardening as well and use the soft garden trellis. We live in FL. Thanks :)
I know what to do with the panels I have now, thanks.
So it's best to put the plants on the outside edge of the panels?
I used wire like that it was concrete wire,,,I leaned it up against the fence and had more cukes then we could eat
How easy was it to harvest the cucumbers from the inside middle of the tent? Kind of a reach or not really? Thx!! Beautiful garden there 🎉
Turn the fencing 90 degrees so the short side is in the dirt. It might be too tall to harvest unless you have a step stool.
👍👍👏👏👏
Nice video. I don't know what kind of cucumbers you grow, but your miniature trellis would not work for my 30-inch English cucumbers. The vines grow 8-feet tall. I used two 4' x 8' panels, fastened them with metal hose clamps to four 7-foot T-bars. I then overlapped the the two panels, one row of the squares at the top of each panel, secured them with small screw clamps at the top. The end result is an arch that is 4' wide and 7' tall at the highest point. Keeping the 4' space between the two panels to the height to 7' provides good circulation. I grow a row of lettuce in between the cucumbers and have free access to it. I can also get to my full-sized cucumbers very easily from the inside of the arch. I built the same arch trellis for my indeterminate tomatoes.
How do you weed under the AFrame?
Can the use of zip ties do the job also?
How did the cucumbers go?
How big of panels did you by 8 foot or 16 footers?
could use zip ties to attach panels
Where can I get the wire? Do they have it at Home Depot?
Did you talk panels or cattle panels? Could you send them both? Also, what are you planning in the center of that bed? That’s a lot of space you can be utilizing for things like beets carrots turnips radishes
Is it tall enough? I had a 6ft trellis and my cukes was growing over the top.
if you did plant inside, you mentioned lettuce...how would you get to it?
Exactly. And the cucumbers will create a “tent” that shades the area inside the panels. Seems like you lose a lot of usable bed space.
can it be used to support cantaloupes?
Are you worried about lead with the cattle panels?
What is the dimension of the hog panel?
Where can I buy those hogs panel?
Won't the trellis get hot and kill the plant during very hot temperature?
So where do you get these hog panels?
Why wouldn’t you just use zip ties to attach the top? So much easier and cheaper!
I had a fallen down tree for a trellis last year. Only thing I had to worry about was how to reach the cukes.
DAMMIT! Your plants are so much farther along than mine.
What’s your growing zone?
It seems like zip ties would work at the top too.
Where do I buy the panel and what would approximate price range be? Do you think you could use this for a traditional flat (non-raised) garden too?
Zip ties would totally work, but they will eventually break down from UV rays. We pay about $40 for a 16 foot panel. This would definitely work for just a normal in ground garden too!
@@GoshenFarmandGardens thanks! We just moved to the country from the city, so this is all new to me! My husband is an electrician, so I know there’s an abundance of zip ties 😄
😂😂 awesome! Have fun!
@@GoshenFarmandGardens where would I find these panels?
Tractor suppply
What did u do to keep the weeds from growing in your area?
We are having a loosing battle
We didn’t have any issues with weeds in the raised beds. We do have issues with them in the market garden so to remedy that we use landscape fabric. It takes about 3-4 years to kill most of the weeds in the ground by using this method.
Do you have a video on how to build the raised beds?
Yep, check out our channel we have two videos on how we built our raised beds
Have tried trellis with other vines other than cucumbers?
hey micheal, v sauce here
🤣
I didn’t listen to the video all the that’s why I was asking about planting in the center but how do you get to it all it does make it a little bit harder to plant and harvest don’t you think?
I was going to use the heavy-duty zip ties, since I dont own the rings and tool. Is there a reason zip ties would be a bad idea? Thanks!
They will become brittle and break from the UV rays of the sun. They will probably last a growing season though
@@GoshenFarmandGardens I have used the same heavy duty zip ties on a PVC structure in a cold climate going on 4 years now. Zero deterioration. Bought them from Harbor Freight. :)
how do you make the raised beds with that metal sheet in it
We have a video on our channel. Check it out 👍
What do you do if your cucumber outgrows the trellis?😅 I made this and now I don’t know what to do..
Where did you find the metal sheets used in your boxes? What is it?
We get ours from Sutherland’s in the Midwest. Most big box stores sell it but it’s a lot thinner which can get dents pretty easy.
@@GoshenFarmandGardens thank you
What size panel is that? How long before you cut?
16ft
If the cukes are hanging down in the middle, doesn't this make it a bit challenging to harvest?
what size panel did you purchase for this project?
I think they are 16’
Can you plant cucumbers on both sides of this trellis ?
I see you zucchini there too, are you gonna trellis those as well? Why or why not?
the rust on the trelis doesn't mess up the plants? Or is it galvanized?
Galvanized
Thank you
Metal tent stakes would be better.
How would you be sure you can see much less reach the cucumbers in the middle? If your cucumbers are not picked soon enough ... if the cucumbers start turning yellow ... then the plant begins to die?
I wonder if zip ties would be cheaper to put these together?
UV resistant zip ties cost about $8-10/package of 100. Kit of hog tie pliers and 500 rings is about $18.
I found covering the zip ties with painters tape keep them from degrading from the sun.
