I can't decide between a nice wooden one like the one you have or a simple iron one that becomes practically invisible planted with a vigorous climbing rose.

Sometimes the cutworms do the job for me. Six pants/pole is too much for most trellises.<br /><br />You can see my trellises at http://marysveggiegarden.wordpress.com/2011/06/21/a-pole-bean-teepee/ . And yes, one occasionally collapses - particularly if one of the 4 poles is undersized and I place it on the down-slope side.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
