Didn't get my strings set up in time to trellis these cucumbers, so I made this quick cattle panel trellis for them. It's not perfect but it does the trick! First harvest was 70 lbs from a 50' bed. Heirloom variety, Marketmore 76. Picked over 150 lbs from it so far!

I did this with an old swing frame and all of my cucumbers died. I’ve been superstitious about it and haven’t tried it again but so many people do it this way

I've had good luck with cattle panel trellises. Cucumbers need fertile soil and even moisture to thrive
