Constructing an A-Frame Garden Support: A Gardening DIY Guide
Craving some green thumb glory? Building an A-frame garden trellis is your ticket to pole bean bliss and a potpourri of other climbing plants! Here's the lowdown on crafting your very own sturdy companion for your garden.
Pole Bean Pals A-Frame Trellis
First off, I tried my hand at a bamboo tent-style trellis, courtesy of a buddy's bamboo stash. It looked like a ticking time bomb waiting to implode, and, of course, a storm came along and proved my suspicions correct. Sigh.
However, my savior husband crafted a pair of rock-solid A-frame trellises that can weather summer storms with ease. I've been growing pole beans on these bad boys for years, not to mention enjoying a successful yield of peas in the early season.
Kids even appreciate the low-lying bean harvest under the trellis! Once the growing season's over, simply strip the vines from the twine or wait for springtime to tackle that task with ease. Pro tip: I prefer bailing twine for its season-long durability, but strings or twine will do in a pinch.
This dynamic duo is no dainty damsel in distress; it's leggy and sturdy enough for both hubbie and I to transport together for crop rotation every season. Don't let its size fool you—you'll be smitten with this A-frame treasure in no time!
Builder extraordinaire, where art thou?
After sharing pictures of my cherished A-frame trellis with an Instagram follower, I realized gardeners everywhere would benefit from this simple yet mighty structure. So, I grilled my husband for the deets on the design—and voila! A 4-step building plan was born. The best part? It won't burn a hole in your wallet; the total cost intentionally hovers under $50, not counting the twine or wire!
