For the past couple of years i ve been thinking about replacing the trellis netting we d been using.
Also has them here.
Use t stakes or are they called t bars to brace the cattle panel.
I experimented with an arched trellis made with concrete re mesh wire and metal fence posts for my tomatoes and pole beans last year.
16 cattle panel don t forget i have two cattle panel trellises in my garden but these instructions are for building one.
Arch the panel over to put the other end of the cattle panel along the other two t posts.
Each arch is made from a single cattle panel that has been bent anchored and attached to four 4 foot pieces of rebar one on each corner.
Tie wire typically used for rebar use this wire to tie the cattle panel to the u posts.
But i am not a normal person.
In the above video watch me effortlessly install and form a gracefully arched trellis without any help at all.
Create extra garden space putting this support over a garden path.
