Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I purchased two of the larger trellises for my 8'x8' raised bed for cucumbers after losing quite a few last season due to rot. They both arrived in perfect condition and installation took all of five minutes. Very happy with the construction, seems to be very durable. With the space savings from the trellis, I was able to place additional veggies underneath for even more future bounty!

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
It's only held up by 2 long stakes, so you can grow lettuce under but when you go to pick the lettuce don't bump it!

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I have gardened for over 30 years and prefer verticle vines rather than ground runners. This trellis should keep produce off the ground, get more exposure to sun, and make it easy to pick. We'll grow cukes on it this year.

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I am using the cucumber trellis to grow my butternut squash. Hopefully, this will work. Plants are just emerging from the ground. I have raised beds so space is limited. I planted spinach and lettuce underneath the trellis.
The product is durable and attractive. We'll see how the squash "likes it."

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
This fit my raised garden bed I bought from you perfectly. It gives me enough room to plant spinach and radishes underneath it. It's another one of the items I bought from you that my friends asked where I got it. Thanks, your products are great for people who have arthritis. I can't believe I'm gardening again and enjoying it.

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
We ordered this specifically for our cuke plants. It looks just like the picture only better (more sturdy) than I thought it would be. Within 3 days our plants had started to twine up the framework.

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I love this product. I can grow vining cukes and still get radishes, lettuce, carrots, spinach, etc. to grow under it. A must have for raised beds!

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
This is my first season to garden using cucumber trellises, and as the summer is just beginning it's hard to say how well they will hold up. I have a very large plot of land, all deer fenced, in which to garden, but finding really usable, convienent to use trellises is a real boone to gardening, in my book. I like keeping my vegies off the ground, and out of the dirt!

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
Powder coating finish seems to scratch off easily anywhere two parts meet. Still early in the season; looks good in the garden, and can't wait to see if it really works w/lettuce underneath.

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
Have had the trellis for 4 seasons now and it still does not show much wear. Versatile piece that can snap together to be a wide trellis or each half propped over a tomato cage for less space. Works well to keep the cucumbers off the ground...already bought one for a friend!

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I purchased this for my 3'X3' raised bed. This is much larger than I was thinking it would be. The legs are extremely long. If you are placing this on pavement you will have to cut the legs in order for it to fit in the raised bed. Once the legs are cut down, be sure to tie it down to the bed so that the wind will not take off with it. I think it is going to work out great! Just a bit of extra work you have to do!

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
This product fits a 4x8 raised bed garden perfectly. It is easy to set up and take down. I have not had it long enough to see how it stands up to the weight of the cucumbers. I am also planting melons alonside of the cucumbers and am waiting to see if it will support them as well.

This trellis keeps the cucumbers off the ground and allows for space underneath to plant lettuce or other veggees that don't need full sun all day.

I really like that I'll be able to utilize the shading of the cucumbers to plant more vegetable underneath. It gives the garden a professional look. Wish it came in green or red.

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
Just installed it and am using it for the first time. Can't wait to see if it performs as promised for my cucumbers. If it does, it will be great! Iwill also be planting lettuce underneath it. I am curious to see how effective the trellis is for this purpose.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I planted cucumbers last year on my trellis. I was so impresed with my cucs that I ordered another one for this year to try mellons on it. I have tried to vine cucs on other trellises and had no sucess. I also was not bothered by the cucumber beetles as I have been in the past. I don't know why the trellis kept the beetles away but it did.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I'm looking forward to using this trellis to support my cukes this summer.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
We placed this in our raised bed for cukes.- No more "hidden" bounty.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
Here is an easy way to raise cucumbers and use the space effectively below to raise another veggie. I see salads in the future.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
Bought this for container gardening on my brick patio. I put the stakes into some tomato pots to anchor it and cantilevered the metal trellis onto a built in feature of the patio, a sandstone and brick cooking area/grill. Seems to be fairly secure even under high winds (40mph).
There's also room to place some other plants under it if they need shade.
Placed 2 cucumber pots and an eggplant pot under the trellis. The tomato pots anchoring it also receive some shade.
Just planted veggies, and they're just starting to flower and touch the trellis, so can't rate how well it works yet.
I think it will work well though.

was very handy for a compact and small garden
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
We used this in our garden for cucumbers and it was great! The keeps them off the ground and makes them easier to pick.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
Using for cucumbers. Good idea and build well.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
One of the poles bent when I stuck it in the ground!
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
this is a win-win for me cucumbers on top. Lettuce can grow in shade under.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
Looks good and easy to use.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I just installed raised beds next to our house and we're using the trellise for our cucumbers. Since the bed is against the house, I've had to cut the stands down so that it will fit in the bed at the correct angle.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I use it to let my cucumbers climb, then I get to pick cucumbers from vines, they're not covered in dirt and bug bites this way.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
Makes trellising EASY! Am anxious to slice into those straight, long, tasty cukes!
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
First time using it this year - I just set it up in the raised bed for the cucumbers.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
Our cucumbers are just now starting to grow up the trellis...underneath we have rows of radishes. Beleive this is going to work out just fine
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I had reservations about buying this trellis, because purchases such as this from other companies seldom live up to their billing. This trellis is well worth the money, and I expect to get many years of service out of it. It is extremely sturdy, easy to assemble, and easy to install. I have it in a raised bed. Thanks for a great product as always.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
This is the second one I have purchased in order to support the cucumbers. One support was not quite enough. I'm pleased with the design and its usefulness.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
Heafty and big enought to allow running plants room to grow. An easy way to expand your growing area.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
My husband opened this today, struggled to get the bag off, struggled to detach the instructions, and struggled to connect the 2 halves of the trellis together. As my husband's frustration grew, I had visions of Rodney Dangerfield struggling with this and in the end wadding it up and throwing it into the trash alongside the road. HAHAHA It was actually easily assembled, but the grids were a little warped so they didn't line up perfectly. Once we got it together. it seems terrific - sturdy and unobtrusive. I can't wait to see cucumbers scampering up this trellis!

I'm going to use the trellis this spring for first time. I just bought it. It looks stable and very attractive,and I'm sure that it would keep my cucumbers clean and without spots.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
Setup was easy, wish I ordered two; just waiting for the weather to warm up to put the cucumbers in.

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I just put my trellis in the garden for the third year. It is good as new. It works great to get cucumbers off the ground and provide more space. I'm ordering a second one to try on melons.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
This trellis is a great idea to save space and get vegetables off the ground. It does take up a little more area than I figured on but I tweaked it and its all good. The stakes are a little difficult to get into the ground as much as recommended but I'm still glad I got it and I've recommended it to my family and friends who also have gardens. Very happy!
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
great way to "tidy up" your veggie garden

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
These frames are fantastic. I've found scores of uses for them from cukes to peas to melons and flowers. They really are well made and easy to use. My only objection to them is the awful and unnecessary plastic wrappers they come in. I can compost the cardboard boxes, but the plastic really irks me.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I've also used these successfully for several varieties of squash.

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
This product was easy to assemble and install by myself, no tools needed. I was able to push edges into soft soil, but stakes or staples may be handy for more stability. My cucumbers haven't gotten big enough to climb yet, so it will still be some time before they test the trellis strength!

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
This was easy to set up but the connection between the two halves seems a little flimsy. I believe it will work ok, but have to wait and see how it works with 8 plants of cucumbers hanging from it.

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
This was so easy to put together and place in my yard. I will have to wait for the end of this season to see if it actually helps me with my cucumbers. The concept seems like this could produce more with the ability to see all that are growing.
[1 of 2 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
It's early in the gardening season so I can't plant cukes on this frame yet. I have planted peas at the base with lettuce under it. the plants are small yet but so far so good. I plan to use one for cucumbers and one for melons. Since it will be shady underneath Perhaps my lettuce will last longer. Overall I am pleased with the product. It appears to be very durable.

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
The trellis was easy to install and I can't wait to see if my cucumbers have less blemishes this year.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
My vegetable beds are all raised boxes. I was looking for something to support my cucumbers, but something that will also fit in my box. This trellis is perfect!
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
Plan to use this to grow sweet dumpling squash. Rather than using more space in the garden for vining plants, thought this would be a good space saver and it is also portable, so I can put it somewhere other than inside the garden.

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
The length of the Trellis is short for vining cucumber. The length of the trellis could be extended without changing the current ones design simply by having a connector to extend the trellis to a longer length. The support legs would possibly have to be longer. I like the trellis's light weight and ease of assembly.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
Easy set up. Very durable. Allows me to grow additional vegetables in my raised garden. Would have liked to have additional sizes available (something bigger). Great idea.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
This is my first season using this product and I know that it will work wonderfully in my limited space garden. I look forward to my first harvest and the fresh, crunchy cucumbers. I love the idea that I can plant lettuce beneath the trellis so I also get a longer growing season for my lettuce.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
My grandsons like cukes and summer squash, so I felt this product would improve my output from my raised beds. We'll see!!
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I know this product will be exactly what I needed but with the hurricane force winds we had here I had to retrieve it from down the hill to start over. I still like it even though I haven't really used it yet.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I look forward to trying the trellis but here in So. Oregon we have to wait till after middle of May to plant garden.

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I started a raised bed garden this year. I wanted to have a trellis that I could place within the raised bed. I felt the description was a little lacking. When I tried to figure out the size of the trellis, it did not desribe it well. I thought the piece was more like a square but it is more a rectangle. The raised bed I wanted to place it in is 4X4 feet inside dimensions. It sits perfectly in that space. I am slightly concerned that their may not be anough height but I do have a bush variety cucumber to it will probably not be an issue. If you want a taller trellis, you can turn it the other way but it would limit the number of plants. It depends on what you want.

After last years cukes took over my garden, this has allowed my other plants to grow without being strangled by the cucumber vines.

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I built my own 4 x 4 raised beds, so the cucumber trellis was perfect for my space in its original size. I appreciate being able to grow pickling cukes vertically and allow their own vines to offer some sun protection for the fruit. This was always a challenge in the past, when I allowed my cucumbers to grow on a vertical fence. And growing lettuce or other veggies beneath the trellis is a great use of the space- no area goes to waste in my garden! I'm in zone 7b so lettuce in the late spring is already pushing the limits; summer is nearly out of the question, but with the trellis and a location that gets morning-to-early afternoon sun, I can extend my lettuce season, too.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
bought this product last year and was not pleased with the effect it had on the plants when they grew over the top. the stems crimped and the cucumbers stopped growing from lack of nutrients and water. i plan to use this as the opposite side of the one from last year so the vines will have all the support they need. if you don't have the other one i would suggest you buy the new frame that has been added this year that is v shaped to begin with!
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
Kids go crazy when they easily see the cukes dangling from trellis and can easily help with harvest. No damaging vines walking on them when looking for the veggies. Also provides great ventilation to minimize powdery mildew issues.
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I purchased two, one for cukes and one for melons. My 17 year old daughter put them together in nothing flat with just one glance at the directions. We used earth staples to hold them in place. I'm looking forward to seeing how they perform with plants!

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
Too early in season to use yet
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
Cucumbers haven't grown on it yet but it seems quite sturdy and will support them well. I wish the legs went straight down since having them at an angle takes up that much more space (I have it over the side of my raised bed) but oh well. Only using half of it right now to save space.
[2 of 2 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
These trellises are great for allowing vegetables to grow and keep them off the ground. Fairly easy to use, but you have to place an anchor at the base of the screen to keep it from sliding and potentially bending the supports.
It holds quite a bit of load. Last season the trellises probably held 40-50 pounds of cucumbers at a time.
I liked them so much I bought 2 more for the 2011 season!

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I bought this trellis with high hopes, but it has two things working against it: it's too small for cucumber vines, and when it's set out it hangs well over a Gardeners Supply grow bed. My cucumbers quickly overran the trellis, plus its legs/supports got in the way in the garden path. I've since decided that self-made A-frame pvc frame trellises are much more space and cost-effective.

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
I purchased this cucumber trellis to grow cucumbers, of course, but also to utilize my raised beds more so. I think this product was a great idea because I can have more cucumbers along with other vegetables growing in my raised bed than I could have had before this trellis. Plus it makes a nice perch for the birds who are looking for pesky bugs in my garden.

Comments about Cucumber Trellises:
This trellis now comes in two sizes. The first one was too large for my needs, but this is perfect for my garden. There's flexability in the angle in which it's set up and does leave room to plant vegetables underneath. Great space saver, too.
