Comments about Bean Tower:

it's not as wide as I expected and it's rusting after less than one month

Comments about Bean Tower:

It was simple to set up and easy to set in the ground. We get a lot of straight line winds and it hasn't moved. I was worried about this since I didn't get the extra long staples. The beans are already halfway up the tower and doing great. Very attractive and space saving.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Very sturdy, easy to set up.

Comments about Bean Tower:

This probably works extremely well and is very compact in the garden and to store for winter. I wish the wire material were slightly heavier so the weld points could be heavier. I've used it for one year, and I would expect it to make it through 2-3 more, but had hoped for more. Some of the weld points have come apart, and the weld points are not quite sturdy enough at the start of the season when you need to push the unit it into the soil.

I've never grown more beans in less space, so I will buy one more.

Comments about Bean Tower:

This bean tower is great if you have limited space in your garden. It's both pleasing to look at and sturdy. You can grown beans on all four sides, so you get a lot of produce in a small area.

Comments about Bean Tower:

The beans aren't up yet, but the tower was easy to put together and fits well in my raised bed.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Just wish it was a tiny bit taller or could be expanded. My beans always go much much higher.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Both levels just mesh together, and the long spikes gently ease into the soil. It is strong enough to support a heavy growth of beans. It can become the focal point of your vegetable garden.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I unpacked the bean tower and immediately put in the garden. So far so good. It has already stood up to a few big thunderstorms.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Simple to use, willlast for years. Will support quite a load of beans or peas!

Comments about Bean Tower:

I'm using two of these right now in a raised garden, growing pole beans, and I'm very impressed with these supports! They were very easy to assemble, and they stand up to strong wind! I reinforced them with bamboo stakes because I live in a high-wind area. Well, a few days after putting them up, we had extreme thunderstorms with straight line winds up to 65 mph, but these bean supports held up with no problem at all! I'm excited to watch my beans grow up these poles all summer!

Comments about Bean Tower:

Certainly easier than trying to build my own suppport for raspberries. I also use it for beans.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I use it with beans

Comments about Bean Tower:

I bought this tower for my pole beans. I have planted 15 smaller pole bean plants on this unit. My beans are thriving. The design is attractive and my neighbor loved this so much she has decided to get one for herself. Can't wait to harvest.

Comments about Bean Tower:

these are the same as the tomato cages which I have. Since they are advertised specifically as bean towers I thought they would be different in some way. I was hoping for something a little different so there would be more visual interest in the garden.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I have very limited space in my small raised bed gardens so it makes superb sense to go vertical. And having never grown pole beans before, I was anxious for the first harvest from my bean tower. Like a pole bean "high rise" it worked beautifully and we enjoyed a very good yield of easily picked beans. I have since purchased a second bean tower and will be adding to my bean "city" by planting a purple Italian pole bean. The towers are sturdy and go up in seconds. Growing a variety of pole and shell beans in a very small area couldn't be easier!

Comments about Bean Tower:

To assemble this item you must slot 8 legs into 8 sockets while the two halves flex and shift. It took my husband and I about 5 minutes of fiddling to get it just right. I don't know how someone would assemble this by themselves. Otherwise, it appears that it will do a great job of supporting beans.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Great size to do pole beans
+,

Comments about Bean Tower:

I put this in my garden and after 3 days of rain it rusted. One would think it could handle rain as it is for outdoors. Terrible quality a total waste of money. They should refund me. Difficult customer service reps.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Excellent height and wire spacing for multiple use on either beans or tomatoes. Legs seem to function well without additional support, windy conditions may require additional leg support.
Cross joint welds are very weak, the slightest pressure on any weld will break it. At the end of the season I will re-weld every joint, hope they hold that long.

Comments about Bean Tower:

This product is very versatile because of the extensions to make it a tower. I don't add the extension until after the beans are up and growing. This way it is not in my way as I plant other things in my garden.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Great space saver in my raised veggie beds.

Comments about Bean Tower:

great for beans, easy assembly & takedown for storage, good value

Comments about Bean Tower:

I am using the towers for cherry tomatoes and snap peas. They were easy to assemble.

Comments about Bean Tower:

love the design of these. had been stacking tomato cages before i saw these. this design was easy to use, just the height i needed for my pole beans so i produced and extraordinary crop! stored easily for the winter.

Comments about Bean Tower:

These towers will take care of the support our bean crops will need. We will be able to grow more beans in a smaller area of the garden. Therefore that will give us more space in our raised bed gardens for the other vegetables. The towers will look tidy as well as beautiful with a full crop of beans growing on them.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I am using this for peas and it looks great already. It is about 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft and I am using it in one of the 3x6 raised beds I got from Gardener's Supply.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Anticipate good results

Comments about Bean Tower:

sturdy bean support. Too early to tell how it'll do, but the beans are growing and the support is ready for them.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Good product but the larger size stresses the limits of the engineering. The corners have a way to fall apart and will require extra bending with a very large wrench. Once bent, the folding is not as practical but trade-offs are trade-offs and good enough does the job.

Comments about Bean Tower:

These bean towers are clearly over-priced. [...] appalling welds and the metal is already rusting with only two weeks of use.

Comments about Bean Tower:

[...]Works fine after that. We sprayed ours with rustoleum, being along the coast and all, since every cage I use rusts here. Beans just came up so we'll see how it holds up when they're grown over it.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I use the tower for purple pole beans & open it long for the Snow peas, love everything but the lack of coating!

Comments about Bean Tower:

compact for storing and sturdy for holding heavy bean plants

Comments about Bean Tower:

I am growing Kentucky Wonder Green Beans and am using these bean towers for the first time. They are very easy to put up and seem very sturdy.If they are as good as the tomato cages, and I think they will, they are a great buy. Looks like I will be recommending these towers to vegetable gardeners.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Purchased several of these towers a few years ago and discovered what an improvement they were over other solutions we'd tried previously so I've just ordered more. Towers are sturdy enough to support additional vines on bamboo poles between them and also easy to clear and store at the end of the growing season.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I use to support cherry tomatoes. The extra height is great.

Comments about Bean Tower:

A weak weld popped loose while putting it in the ground, I'll fix it after the season and retouch the other welds. At this point I'm very careful about pressure when getting all the legs into the ground.

Comments about Bean Tower:

This is the second bean tower I purchased. I used one all summer and was happy with it. This second one is a gift for my mom who loves to garden.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I planted bean seeds late in the summer, so the tower is literally towering abouve the little plants. I'm anxious to use it-- the beans are clinging on to the frame nicely. I think it will work well but will know better next month

Comments about Bean Tower:

For years we have used a trellis with poles on each end. As bean plants grew, the trellis would sag or the poles would move. After trying Gardener's Supply's bean trellis this is the only way I will grow beans! I used 2 bean towers and a trellis and the yield was much higher using the towers. It is easier to pick the beans from the towers and they grew larger, healthier, and taller bean stalks. Visitors noticed the bean towers as soon as they stepped in the backyard and were amazed at the bean plants. Next year, more towers, no trellis!

Comments about Bean Tower:

My tomatoes grow really tall and grow over the top of the tomato tower. The bean tower is 11" higher and is strong enough to support 4 tomato plants. I love it and now have 6.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I had a very hi-tech looking garden this year, thanks to the supports I had for my beans and tomatoes, and the trellis for cukes. I would buy this tower again, I was impressed by the guage of the wire. It has surpassed my expectations, and I look forward to setting it up again next year.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Lots of growing space for cucumbers in a small space. It's easy to pick the cucumbers since the openings are large.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I use my tower for Rattlesnake Green Beans. Easy to harvest beans. Don't know how I have survived without it over the years. Gonna order more for my spring garden using one for butterbeans, too.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I have 2 of these; one for the English cucumbers and other for the butternut squash. Both are thriving.

Only wish they were coated in red, green, or other colors.

Comments about Bean Tower:

wow, although this was a little pricey, it is well built and easy to assemble. holds up in wind with no problem. nice and tall for pole beans! makes picking easy!

Comments about Bean Tower:

This is my first season with my new bean tower.
So far, so good. My beans are half way up. I wanted strength and a space saver. I am very pleased with it. Gave one to my daughter for Mother's Day. She has a very small garden and just loves it!

Comments about Bean Tower:

These towers are great. I am using them for first year hops vines and they are perfect!

Comments about Bean Tower:

OK...my purple pole beans still outgrew this highrise, but the Dragon's Tongue and all the other beans did terrific on it. It's plenty tall and very strong, accommodating lots of beans.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Although I've already used the bean tower for my pole beans, this year I ordered one for my cucumbers! The plants are scrambling up it already, and I'm looking forward to harvesting my cukes from up high, and saving a lot of space in my raised bed. It's plenty sturdy for this use, as well as beans!

Comments about Bean Tower:

I love the way my tower seems to dominate my garden. I am trying to do as much vertical gardening as I can to maximize my somewhat limited space. I am excited to see how easy or difficult harvesting my beans will be with this type of growing device.
The only adjustment I have done to improve my towers design is add heavy string on each of the four sides to give it more vertical supports to climb since the ones on the tower seemed a little far spaced. Will see if that is an improvement on the existing design.

Comments about Bean Tower:

my first one is being uses to grow pole beans and lots of them. The second one will be used for peas in the fall

Comments about Bean Tower:

It's early days, but the beans seem to like the trellis and are climbing ever higher. The product is very sturdy. What a shame it's made in China. Can't we here in the US make a simple wire trellis?

Comments about Bean Tower:

I find that the metal tower gets hot in direct sun all day and burns the plants that come in contact with it. I think it would be better to have a coating over the metal.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Too soon to tell if it has any downsizes, but have not found any yet.[...]

Comments about Bean Tower:

I have a tomato cage from Gardener's Supply Company and it's been great so I knew a bean tower would be the same quality. It's very durable, more so than any others I've seen. I'm very happy with it! I can't wait to pick beans.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I am trying this as a support for cucumbers, which I usually grow vertically. I think it would be great for beans or peas as well. I like that it fits in a small area of my raised bed - great for small space gardeners. It was a little tricky to unfold it- thought I was going to break it but you just have to pull hard to separate it. Other than that it is great.

Comments about Bean Tower:

For many years, I grew bush beans in my garden. This is the first year I've grown pole beans and the bean tower is the perfect support. It is sturdy, easy to put together and takes far less space then growing bush beans in rows.

Comments about Bean Tower:

This is just perfect for growing beans. Easy to put up and easy and convenient to store. I am always amazed at how tall the beans grow and this tower gives them plenty of room.

Comments about Bean Tower:

My pole beans and flowering vines are thriving! The towers look so pretty. I gained a few square feet by replacing my old trellis with the towers. The towers seem a bit high, out of fear that they could tip over, I anchored them with lines and pegs into the soil.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I used this bean tower for the first time last summer and really liked the way it worked for me. I used one of your tomato cages to extend the height of the tower and this worked great. We live in a windy area and this bean tower stood up to the wind and remained stable, even with the tomato cage on top and without staples. I'm using this again this year and I plan to buy another, along with some of your other plant supports. I've been VERY pleased with everything I have purchased form your catalog and will continue to add to my gardening collection. Thanks for the wonderful merchandise selection!

Comments about Bean Tower:

strong and did not bend when pushing into clay soil, but if you hit a rock it does bend, so push correctly and gently. But vines are growing up onto it with out any problem or assistant and it's well worth the investment for future years as well.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I purchased two bean towers for the garden, they were very easy to assemble and install in my raised bed. I only wish that they were taller.
Having an extension would be helpful. My bean plants haven grown past the top of each tower.The quality of the structure is similar to the
cucumber supports I have purchased from you and I am on the second year with them, with no visible rust on them. I plan to purchase more towers for the next crop I plant.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Put this tower together in minutes and 4 weeks later my beans have almost grown to the top. Finally, a bean support that's tall enough, sturdy enough, and looks so clean and professional.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I have 5 raised beds. I put the bean towers in the middle of each bed. I am growing 4 different types of beans and each variety has climbed the tower beautifully. This is a perfect way to grow beans in an area that has limited space. I plan to buy more of these structures for tomatoes and other plants. Brilliant idea!

Comments about Bean Tower:

It took me no time to get four of these set up in a raised vegetable garden for my green beans. Instead of setting them up in the square design they better fit my space in a diamond shape. It was great that the design of these towers allowed me to make this adjustment. My beans have taken to them like Jack's magic beans!

Comments about Bean Tower:

Been planting beans for 40 years and grew tired of sticks and poles and strings.

The weather has been rotten this year and my first planting didn't come up so I am replanting today and look forward to seeing all those delicious beans on the towers.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I love the fact that it takes up so little space and is so tall! I have a very small garden and this allows me to plant many beans and still have room left in my little garden for other vegetables.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Super easy to assemble.

Comments about Bean Tower:

It is early in the season but I feel this product will hold up all the pole beans I have planted around it. It is sturdy enough to take any high winds we may have over the summer. I am using it in a raised bed so it is a real space saver. I used to plant rows of beans so I looking forward to getting the same yield in a smaller space. It is a durable product. I will have to update later during the summer.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I am using it in a raised bed for square foot gardening. I think it will be really sturdy for holding the beans as they grow up. I do wish that it were 12 x 12 instead of 14 x 14 so it would have fit inside one of the squares without stealing from another square.

Comments about Bean Tower:

This is my first time using pole beans instead of bush beans. I find bending increasingly difficult and I expect these towers will allow me to harvest more easily. Also, my garden is not large and they saved enough space to plant a couple rows of sweet corn.

Comments about Bean Tower:

i have three bean towers i have used for three years (this is the fourth season), and they are still in perfect shape. They are really tall, and perfect for green beans. At the end of the season, I just fold them and stack them and store them against a wall in my garage. I like them so much I just ordered three more.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Can't wait to see the full effect once the yard-long red Vietnamese bean
plants I planted mature on this stately tower!

Comments about Bean Tower:

This is my 4th "beanstalk", absolutely a must for
pole beans - if we could just get rid of them

Comments about Bean Tower:

The Bean Tower sets up easily and quickly and permits air circulation and plenty of sunlight to plants on all sides. An excellent investment!

Comments about Bean Tower:

using it for climbing string beans

Comments about Bean Tower:

Simple functional garden support-

Comments about Bean Tower:

It fits nicely in a narrow raised bed between my berry rows.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I just purchased one of these to see if the quality was there. It is constructed very well and should hold up for years of use. If it works as well as I anticipate, I will be buying more next year. It beats putting up 4x4 posts and stringing netting between for support.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Grew green beans for two seasons and was very please with the tower. The plants grow up each side and produce lots of beans. Last summer, I had the house painted and one of the painters fell off the ladder, right onto the tower! He was fine but the top of the tower was quite bent. We straightened it out, salvaged the plants, and it produced a good crop. About the only gripe is getting the plants to twine and grow up the tower. I'm thinking about covering the bottom with some netting to get them started.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Easy to assemble/disassemble and adds dimension to the garden.

Comments about Bean Tower:

It was easy to put together. Great for a small garden to maximize space.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I just love these. They will be wonderful when it comes time to store.They were very easy to put together. Look attractive in the garden. Thank You So Much for this design.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I don't have a huge garden, so I like to optimize my space. The bean towers save space and also my back as it's so much easier to pick beans standing up. I do find that the initial set up is a bit challenging. It would help to have an extra hand. But it's far from impossible.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I must admit, I was leery about this being sturdy enough to hold up green beans. But when it arrived, the metal was surprisingly thicker than I expected, yet easy to assemble and not heavy. I set two of them up one evening and left them just sitting on the lawn the next day(not pushed into the ground, just standing on top of the grass). A huge storm came through with tornado advisories and fierce winds. The towers remained standing through all of it! I couldn't believe it! I can't wait to see how well they do at the end of the summer once the beans are grown.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I have been using the towers for two years for beans and peas. They allow me to harvest large quantities in a small area.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Living on a corner lot in the city, I have a container garden along the west sidewalk. Neighbors are watching enthusiastically as my pole beans climb the compact, sturdy bean tower. The tower fits perfectly and securely in my large pot and plants are thriving. We expect a great harvest.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I bought one last year for my hops vine and loved it. So I am going to try my beans on it this year. Can't wait. It did awesome with the hops (which can get quite large).

Comments about Bean Tower:

This is a Great Item to have for any Garden.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I bought this for a raised bed of rattlesnake beans & pole beans. The instructions for use were so helpful. The tower is made of very durable material. It was simple to put together. I planted the seeds after I placed the tower as recommended. My beans are already growing and attaching to the tower.

Comments about Bean Tower:

It's easy for certain, and comes in two pieces to stack for height. Wish it was sturdy - beans can really take over - after I purchased, I found a very sturdy one at a local garden shop that is also coated. So, we'll see how this harvest goes!

Comments about Bean Tower:

The bean trellis really worked well for us and we've purchased several more. they are sturdy enough to withstand north Missouri winds and still fold compactly for storage over the winter. Moving from bush beans to pole varieties has created more flexible space in our garden and allowed us to produce enough beans for continual eating throughout the summer with plenty left to can.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I have four of these towers and can't imagine being without them. They assemble easily...and store great also. I love getting the big yield out of my pea's and beans in such a small space. I plant on the inside and outside of the tower.
I have never had one fall over either. Mine are around 7 years old now.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Though this is a tall cage, it uses little space in the garden so there is still room for all kinds of other plants. I like the way the green beans are beginning to grow inside! It is easier if you have help putting it together since it has 2 pieces and I'm short!

Comments about Bean Tower:

[...] Exactly what I had pictured and extremely durable. Survived very high winds and bad storms shortly after installing in my raised vegetable garden. This isn't the cheapest product on the market but given the customer service and durability it's worth the money and you get what you pay for.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Sturdy, folds flat. versitile. I love these things

Comments about Bean Tower:

These are great and can be used for beans, tomatoes, peas or anything that climbs.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Things that are great about it.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I'm a little concerned about the rust I noticed where the two pieces connect, after just one season, but on the whole the bean towers are absolutely amazing. I have steered well away from pole beans because supporting them is so problematic, but this has changed the way I garden forever. No more bush beans for me! Vertical gardening is my favorite way to go. It is also fantastic how flat they fold up for storage.

Comments about Bean Tower:

string beans so far, possibly tomatoes next year.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I use them for growning beans, peas, cukes, and tomatoes. I would love them even more if they were larger than 14", to hold heavier crops.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Great to be able to stand up and pick beans. The bean towers are well made. I get a lot of comments on them.

Comments about Bean Tower:

This should keep our overachieving pole beans under control. Tripods just didn't do the job this does.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Used in a container and it works very well. I willpurchase more next year. My husband likes the fact that it folds flat for storage.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I have several of these towers; very useful to conserve space in a small garden area

Comments about Bean Tower:

Easy to assemble - very tidy appearance in the garden. I have scarlet runner beans on one tower - and the humming birds visit frequently!

Comments about Bean Tower:

Wonderful.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Ihave some issues with strength, and yet these were still easy to install. Wonderful size and easy to maintain.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Great product. I ordered more to pair next to one another for a better use of space.

Comments about Bean Tower:

The bean tower is primarily used for the dry beans that I grow such as Cannelli, Jacob's Cattle, Sonoran Gold, etc. and for a pole green bean. The product is very sturday, supports the beans well, makes it easier to harvest.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I set this up in my veggie garden & planted bean seeds with the help of my grandchildren. The beans are almost to the top of the bean tower already. I have used a pea fence & tepees for the pole beans but this is even better.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I use this product for both Beans and Tomatoes. I buy it due to its sturdiness and ease of use. I also like its weather proof construction.

Comments about Bean Tower:

The tower really does the job! My beans are full and in the constant barage of wind we have daily here, I was worried. Now that I have had a season with the tower in action, I am VERY impressed and will order another for next year.

Comments about Bean Tower:

i am using it for pole beans but also space saving for cucumbers to go up. fit nicely in the self watering raised bed for cucumbers to go up

Comments about Bean Tower:

Sent this to daughter in law to use in her small garden. She loves it. She said it keeps her beans in order and they can grow taller and produce more beans.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Too late to plant more beans, but I have way to many tomato plants that still needed supporting, so I am using each tower, top and bottom, to support two tomato plants. I think they will work well for beans next year though!

Comments about Bean Tower:

works great for beans but i am also using them in the selfwatering raised bed for cucumbers

Comments about Bean Tower:

I bought one of these towers last year and it was so useful that I bought another one this year. They let you grow vertically most anywhere you like, they are easy to put together and take down, and they take up very little space to store over the winter.

Comments about Bean Tower:

This is a great idea! I've usually just used regular wood poles I've found / cut in the woods until I saw this design. It's compact in my garden, and the beans have no problem finding and climbing the tower.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Now that my beans have reached the top of the tower, it makes for a nice focal point for the garden and should make for easy picking. We found it a little awkward to assemble- to align the top and bottom sections. Needed two sets of hands. Too early to tell about storing it as this is our first season of use.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I have used other types of trellis and been very disappointed. I purchased this one and hoping it would work... when my bean plant started to grow and had beans on it I was very happy it did not collapes, even when the wind blew. I will be purchases more for my next years garden. It really give me more room in my back yard garden. great for small spaces.

Comments about Bean Tower:

watch out for the wire ends. I cut myself a few times without even feeling it while putting them together. Some better finish work would be nice. They are very sturdy and tall. Beans seem to take to them well.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I love this product in my home garden so much that I just ordered four sets for our schoolyard vegetable garden (we're starting a project to grow vegetables for the local food bank).

My only complaint -- I usually end up having to add some bamboo poles for extra vining support. The vertical spaces seem to be too wide for the young plants to all find their initial climbing wire. Can these be structured with more supports/smaller spaces? And, of course, using your fertilizer my beans usually outgrow them, so feel free to keep making all your products taller!

Comments about Bean Tower:

I am excited about almost getting to the point of growing all of my own vegetables.
I have limited space and products like this I hope are going to make the difference.
I can't wait to put it to use.
I bought 2 for me and one for my parents garden.

Comments about Bean Tower:

This is a very sturdy tower, but not quite tall enough for the varieties of Pole beans I grow (Fortex and Scarlett Runner). I just bought another unit and stacked it on top. This will give me about 9' of climbing space.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Other than one piece breaking off where top and bottom join this is really nice and sturdy. No beans yet but the plants are growing up the tower.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I shopped for vegetable supports at several local nurseries, [...] I found nothing locally that approaches the sturdiness and quality of these bean towers. I'm also using the bottom half of a couple of them as tomato cages (because when I finally got around to buying them, Gardners Supply Company was out of stock on the tomato cages). I planted beans and tomatoes and because I don't have good sun exposure, I planted them in 15 gallon nursery containers. More $ than I wanted to pay, but depending on my success in the containers, I may try to grow more vegetables next year; if so, I would definitely purchase additional bean towers if whatever I decide to grow requires the support. My neighbors that have seem them are also impressed.

Comments about Bean Tower:

This was so great for beans, I bought a few more for tomatos too. works great-very strong.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I love this product,very sturdy

Comments about Bean Tower:

One of the best looking area in my garden.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Does a great job containing the bean plants while alowing them sufficent room to climb!

Comments about Bean Tower:

I bought the bean tower for my small garden space on a "patio home" sized lot. I "planted" the tower in my newly created herb/veggie garden, just in time for one of those huge northeastern storms that came roaring through in early June. While my beans are doing terrible, the tower is standing proud. I didn't even need to straighten it after all of the bad weather! Well worth the investment.

Comments about Bean Tower:

This bean tower is awesome! Previously I have used a round tower that had string running up and down all around. Had to replace the string every year.
Now all I have to do is set it up and walk away!

Comments about Bean Tower:

Used for peas, beans, and used base as tomato cage. Too large for a container garden, but great for raised beds. So far, holds up well to harsh weather. Much sturdier than even the "sturdy" models sold in garden stores.

Comments about Bean Tower:

This product it great. I allows us to make the most of a smaller space. This is the first time my grandchildren have had a garden and they love it! I hope to instill the love of watching things grow that I got from my mother. And, the joy of eating fresh vegetables!

Comments about Bean Tower:

Works well.
simple to set up. Was missing one of the tubes that hook the towers together. but it still works great.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I purchased two bean towers this Spring. I use them in my raised beds. They are easy to install, save space, and sturdy. I planted four bean plants per tower and they are doing fine. I am pleased with my purchase.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I live in a city with a limited back yard space. The bean tower provides great use of space in my garden box. I love it and will recommend this product to others!

Comments about Bean Tower:

Easy setup, durable, better than previous bean towers used.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Great idea but not worth the price with respect to the inferior welded fabrication. It is obvious that this product is manufactured without any consideration for quality control.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I love this for my beans. It comes in two sections that are easy to assemble and take down and store. I'm glad that I got this as it works much better than other things I have tried.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Folds up for easy storage.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Using this Tower I was able to plant a nice bean garden in a space 21/2 foot square.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I can't say how well this will work, since the beans are not even to the first horizantal bar yet, but it was easy to use and seems quite sturdy. folds easily so should store easily.

Comments about Bean Tower:

The beantower enabled me to utilize the space in my garden more effectively by keeping my beans in one corner rather than a full row or two.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Half the cost of a pricey trellis, but the wire is covered by the vines.

Comments about Bean Tower:

The bean towers are easy to set up and take down. Last year I grew stringbeans, and this year ordered another for butter beans. They are wonderful space savers for the small garden. They are also great for flowering vines such as passion flower, morning glories, etc.

Comments about Bean Tower:

This product was very easy to put together and is very sturdy and is holding both my pole beans and pole peas. Love it!

Comments about Bean Tower:

I love these Bean Towers or one could call them Tomato Towers (for the indeterminate type) or Cucumber Towers or Squash Towers and so on. They are the sturdiest support I've found out there and tall enough for most vining veggies. Wish I could afford more of them!

As for storage, they fold flat and take up a very small amount of room.

Buy some, you'll love them!.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I purchased this earlier this year and was able to plant a whole package ofsnow peas seeds around it. It worked so well I purchased a second one and my pole beans are quickly climbing that one. It saves soooooooo much room!!

Comments about Bean Tower:

This bean tower is excellent. It was so easy to put together. It is a good height.It can easily be stored. It is very sturdy and withstands winds. I know this season we will have a bounty crop of beans. Thankyou

Comments about Bean Tower:

I actually use this tall support in my front yard in a highly sunny spot behind a small tree, with the foreground blanketed in various-sized perennials. I do my organic gardening right in my front yard. People pass by coming and going to and from the train station and stop and admire my perennials, and they do not even see my organic garden! It is completely hidden. I like the bean support because, while it is sturdy, when covered with growing beans, it is tall, but completely hidden from the street view. My secret garden!

Comments about Bean Tower:

Lets me plant more beans without having them flop all over the place.

Comments about Bean Tower:

The towers are sturdy and supporting my beans which are just starting to grow. So far so good.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I have a very small place to plant beans and cucumbers and this bean tower really did the trick and my granddaughter can still pick the beans.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I definitely recommend this product. It's more versatile then I thought, you could take it apart to make rows or use as the tower. The base is nice and wide and the tower is very sturdy.

Comments about Bean Tower:

The beans have just sprouted, so I have yet to compare it with my current arrangment of bamboo poles. Putting the second tier on required some patience.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Great product and very efficient.Had people ask where I bought the tower.

Comments about Bean Tower:

This was the easiest bean tower I have ever assembled. It came out of the box ans was assembled in probably less than 2 minutes. The tower is made of heavy gauge metal and should stand up to years of use. It should disassemble and fold flat for storage just as easily. I was very impressed and will buy more for my other climbing/vine veggies and flowers.

Comments about Bean Tower:

The bean tower came out of the box and assembled in less than 2 minutes. It is made of a heavy gauge of metal, and should stand up to many years of use. Should disassemble about as quickly as it assembled (after of course removing the dead bean plants at the end of the season). Folds flat for easy storage. I will buy more for my other climbing veggies.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Using the bean towers for the first time this year. I received bean seeds from a friend and they have just started to climb. I'm so excited about having fresh green beans. Can't wait to see how they do when they reach the top. I'll write again when the mature.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Great for climbing beans, kiwi vines, or any climbing veggie or flowing vine. I'm seriously considering buying more, but only wish it was a little cheaper in price.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Outstanding product - I am using it to grow runner beans. It would also be good for any climbing vine, vegetable or flower. I was pleasantly surprised how it came all assembled in two pieces ready to snap together. Looking forward to many years of use

Comments about Bean Tower:

Raised beds require a bit of ingenuity to utilize the space efficiently. These bean towers promise to do the trick! We're looking forward to a great harvest thanks to your towers. Jack's beanstalk couldn't beat this support--we'll be looking for those "golden eggs" come August. Storage will be a cinch when the season's over! Thanks again.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Hi.. I have great expectations for this bean tower. I can't give it a superior rating as yet for my beans have not presented themselves yet. But the concept is good. I used tie straps to keep the tower stable and upright in a grow box. I'll let you know how all goes and will send pictures in the future. In the meantime...I love Garderner's Supply! I love your helpfulness and your guarantees. Blessings upon all of you!

Comments about Bean Tower:

Great Idea..

Comments about Bean Tower:

So far so good - the peas are very happy! Would be great for beans.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I use this for my pole beans. Sturdier than expected, will see how it holds up after it's first year of use!

Comments about Bean Tower:

The top part of the tower did not fit easily into the bottom part so it looks crooked. Hopefully looks don't matter because it will be covered with beans so if it stands up to heavy vines and lasts several years, I'll be happy.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Another great sturdy product...won't fall over with the weight of the crop. The beans are happily climbing up it even now.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I can't wait to plant my beans! These (I got two) towers were easy to install and they are very sturdy. Not quite decorative looking, but they will be covered by beautiful bean plants soon. I wasn't looking for a decoration anyhow, just something that worked well. I have the lower half in the ground already. As the plants grow I will add the top half as needed. I like how they fold flat for easy storage.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I read that these are sometimes unstable and it looks like that could easily be a problem once the tower is loaded with beans or peas. I expect to have to tie it down somehow, especially if there is stong wind.

Comments about Bean Tower:

These bean towers are a great design - very very easy to assemble, and very sturdy. I can't wait to see how many beans I get out of one of them.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Ideal for growing beans and peas. Expect large harvest from small footprint.
Sturdy and easy to put up an take down/store. Getting a couple more next year.

Comments about Bean Tower:

It goes up in a 'snap' and easy to use. The beans have taken off. It has also stood up to the NW winds and sideways rain storms; fabulous!

Comments about Bean Tower:

I just purchased this for this season and have planted my grean beans and they are growing up it. It looks like a great product I cant see much wrong with it except heighth. Its in one of my raised beds and it has occured to me that once the grean beans reach the top there might be a problem for me to reach them. I dont see that as being a design flaw in the product as much as my short genes from ancestors. Overall I am very happy I purchased this item.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Speed and ease of establishing the bean tower make it very handy to use. It's compact design puts the beans right at your fingertips.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I planted a recession vegetable garden and have a very small space in which to grow. I built a 4 x 8 foot raised bed and divided it into square feet. I planted 12 pole beans per tower (I bought 2) and am delighted with the appearance and functionality of the structures. In the fall I will use them for snap peas. It is sturdier than any product I've seen of its kind and attractive too!

Comments about Bean Tower:

easy to set up, and it adds a striking visual element to the vegetable garden. I use 4X4 raised beds, so space is a priority, and it's easier to go up than out.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I am using mine for a second season. Shortly after planting beans around it in the fall, many areas in the tower started rusting.

Comments about Bean Tower:

My little sugar snap peas are just starting to hug the bottom, but this is a great sturdy tower that will last for years. Can't wait to harvest the crop.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I have a very small vegetable plot, 12x10, so anything that can grow 'up' is grown on a bean tower. I use them for pole and runner beans, and for climbing zucchini "Tromboncino", and this year for my sugar snap peas. They do a great job, I put a guywire on each one to hold them down in our very persistent hilltop wind, but wish the legs were a little sturdier - they bend far too easily if they hit a stone - in NH we have lots of those. I just purchased my third one, and when the peas have gone by, I will wrap it around the tallest tomatoes for extra support. Good product!

Comments about Bean Tower:

I don't have a huge garden and the bean towers are a real space saver.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I used the bean towers for Fortex and Musica pole beans grown in containers, and they were perfect; sturdy, and tall enough. I liked then enough that I bought two for my sister for her birthday.

Comments about Bean Tower:

The bush bean variety I have only grows to 18 inches tall, therefore, I divided the Tower into 2 parts for more bean stalks

Comments about Bean Tower:

No more fiddling with make-shift flimsy set-ups each year, easy up, easy down.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Love the bean tower, but it is still early and my beans aren't in the ground...It folds flat and it is very tall. I think it would also work very well for tomatoes. I will save my pennies for next year! This is my first veggie garden, and my pole bean support was my one purchase for my humble garden beyond seeds...I am hoping to get tons of beans from this area...Very happy with the size and ease of setting it up.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Fe Fi Fo Fum! I'm all prepared for a GIANT bean stalk now! I love the large openings so I can reach WAY in there deep and it just folds flat when I'm all done.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I am growing pole beans they are climbing the tower.The cage fit perferct into my pot.I am verry happy with your products[...]

Comments about Bean Tower:

I do a lot of raised bed gardening, and I found an old wooden box to use for planting beans. However, I needed a bean tower. This is an elegant solution!

Comments about Bean Tower:

These are utilitarian, not pretty. They're practical. I have successfully used them for indeterminate tomatoes and pole beans; this year I added more for snap peas.

Pole beans: plant one seed at each of the 8 uprights; watch at first because you might have to redirect a plant back to it's support (sometimes one reaches out and finds it's neighbor plant first), but once they've attached, you're done. The most time consuming part of growing beans this way is disposing of the clinging dead vines in the fall.

Indeterminate tomatoes: the towers eliminate the need for training. Plant one plant per tower; you can let more than one vine grow from the base, but then be sure to prune out the suckers or you'll have an impenetrable mess. Also, one year I had 3 of these loaded with tomatoes (and therefore having a high center of gravity) get toppled by a strong autumn wind. My solution is that now I scrunch my tomato towers into a narrowed rhombus (not square), and put 3 of them butting up to each other's corners with the center tower perpendicular to the outer towers. Then I tie the adjacent corners together. The perpendicular center and the shared support keep the towers from toppling. This arrangement also makes reaching tomatoes easier; the narrower cage prevents trapping of tomatoes between heavy vines.

Comments about Bean Tower:

waiting to see how they stand up to the wind under a full load...very easy to put together

Comments about Bean Tower:

We bought one of the "bean towers" last year to try out. We liked it so well we ordered another this year. Last year it grew sugar snap peas, and this year we will use our two towers for both peas and pole beans. We have a small city lot, and this tower really functions well to give us maximum use of our space.

Comments about Bean Tower:

very nice and useful. Not fancy but functional. Lots of room for lots of beans

Comments about Bean Tower:

I use this for my beans

Comments about Bean Tower:

Used the towers (in a raised bed) in a very windy location - stayed in place all season with extra-long staples. Towers make it very easy to pick beans and peas

Comments about Bean Tower:

Great for tomatoes but my pole beans were too tall so flopped on top. They are great around shrub roses in winter to deter deer browsing and prevent whipping canes.

Very sturdy, rustproof, easy to store and assemble.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I was so pleased with the tower. It held an entire package of seeds and didn't topple. Easy to pick through the large openings.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I'm a retired teacher with a small garden in my yard. I bought bean towers for green beans in the summer. Wonderful! Lots of beans in very little space. So I got 2 more. Now my snap peas are growing tall and healthy. The south allows for multiple crops, and the bean towers help me take full advantage! Fantastic product for any garderner, but even more so for those of us with small gardens and limited mobility.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I used it for green beans and it gave me better picking access so I did not miss alot of my crop

Comments about Bean Tower:

The bean tower is such an improvement over poles for pole beans! It's very sturdy and makes it much easier to find the beans. It holds a huge amount of produce -- one is enough to feed a family and then some.

Comments about Bean Tower:

This is the second year for my pole beans in the tower; however this year it had to contend with Hurricane Gustav. It withstood about two hours of assault, only to lean and fold into storage position. Two days later after the ground dried a bit, I picked my beans! Talk about tough!

Comments about Bean Tower:

This is the tallest cage out there. While I have not had a chance to use it with pole beans, it has been fantastic with my indeterminate tomatoes. The plants are well supported and only peak out of the top about 6 inches.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I would highly recommend this bean tower. It is sturdy, looks good and for such a large tower folds and stores in a compact way to protect it until the next gardening season.

Comments about Bean Tower:

My tomatoes can often extend above traditional cages...these towers are perfect for really tall plants that usually hang over small cages. As plants grow, just add the top parts for continued support. I used to use homemade wire cages, but these are perfect. You can easily harvest from the sides, and storage will be much easier than my old, bulky wire cages!

Comments about Bean Tower:

Here on our island, slugs abound in most gardens and we're always on the lookout for ways to outwit them. This year I planted a variety of cherry tomato plants, each in its own bean tower, and what a success! A huge harvest that was virtually pest-free and easy to pick.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Really keeps the beans upright and strong. Easy reach for picking.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I love these towers!!! Adds great diminsion to my smaller garden, good screen from the street and the beans are doing great! I bought some for the tomatoes as well, and am so pleased with my 5 foot plants.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I put the tower in for my fall garden.It's a great tool for a small garden.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Works like a charm

Comments about Bean Tower:

Used this in a container on our deck to grown Pole Beans. Wonderful

Comments about Bean Tower:

For the first time I was able to grow my snow peas and green beans without having to struggle with poles and strings and cages that were too short. Took just a few minutes to get a strong tall bean tower. I intend to buy more next spring

Comments about Bean Tower:

This product is a great addition for those with small gardens. The pole beans go up and save the space in the garden. I realize that the tower can only be so high but still my beans are trying to grow even higher. Even so, I'd highly recommend this tower.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I planted my pole beans and find that the tower is really not tall enough as they keep spreading from the top trying to go to other items. I probably would not be able to pick the beans if they could grow as tall as they would like. I do
pull the runners back down and hook them on the lower rungs again. Can't tell at this time what is going to do before fall comes. No beans yet.
The cucumber tower is doing well even though it is shorter. Have picked quite a few cucumbers.
Have a lot of tomatoes in the tomato tower.

Comments about Bean Tower:

the bean tower has held up even in the worst of storms this spring. I can't wait for all the fresh beans to be harvested!

Comments about Bean Tower:

I have grown bush beans for years and had trouble "finding" all the crop til too late. Last summer I bought one tower (now have 2), and found this product to be absolutely fantastic. Beans are easy to find, the tower(s) support a lot of plants vining up them. Wish I had found and used this product a long time ago.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Seems good. I was worried abouth them getting too hot but so far so good. Beans are taller every day.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I am using this to grow some peas from a pot container. Plant is growing well. Allows plenty of access whilst using space efficiently.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Got these originally to grow heirloom beans on but found so many more uses for them. Do wonderful for the beans but also cucumbers, gourds (they sought out the towers and just took their place on them). They save so much space and are so sturdy and easy to use that it has made our garden much more productive.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I ended up using the bean tower this year for some over zealous tomatoes, but it is so strong and sturdy I will not hesitate to load it up with bean plants next year!

Comments about Bean Tower:

This is my first year useing this bean tower and I am happy with durability and ease of use. I do wish it had more verticl poles for the beans to climb on, but they are prodcing just fine even though several plants are twinning together.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Hold the beans and peas up very well.

Comments about Bean Tower:

great to use year after year

Comments about Bean Tower:

I never have enough room to grow beans in my small vegetable garden. Now I can have tons of fresh beans without giving up much space.

Comments about Bean Tower:

these stands are worth the money; extremely stable and easy to use and store

Comments about Bean Tower:

The tower is very easy to set up. It's much taller than other products, so the bean plans really take off. The construction is excellent, so the tower is very sturdy. I was tired of messing with netting and poles that were never tall enough anyway, so this was an effective solution. The only con is that it doesn't easily fold flat for storage. But, that one con would not prevent me from buying more bean towers.

Comments about Bean Tower:

This tower is super sturdy and a great design. It is nice to look at and very functional for bean stalks. It even stands up to our sometimes high winds. I love that it can be used in two different heights and doesn't take up much room.

Comments about Bean Tower:

Terrific for supporting beans, peas and other climbing veggies

Comments about Bean Tower:

Our cucumbers love this bean tower--lots of room to grow. We like it because it keeps the cucumbers off the ground.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I grew my pole beans on the bean tower.
The bean tower design looks futuristic and is never bothered by the wind.
There wasnt anything I didnt like about the bean tower.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I bought two of these specifically for pole beans. So far meets my expectations! Beans are growing right up them nicely and they didn't take up much space in my garden leaving room for other stuff.

Comments about Bean Tower:

I use this product for growing beans along the edge of our garden plot. It's great because I can get the maximum use out of a small space.
