Today I’m answering some questions about gardening vertically on arched cattle panel trellises.

What is the width at the base of the ends of the cattle panel? Thank you
Great info.
What is the best way to transport these panels? We have a 5' bed on our pick-up truck, but it has a cap….we have a 5×7 trailer, wondering if one can bend the panel enough at the store to put in our trailer.
Thank you again so much. The link's great, too.
Is it just me, but can't you get rolled up cattle panels at Lowe's and on amazon…?
Thanks Jess!
I'm doing a cattle panel trellis. They are spendy here in Washington State. 5×16' is $72. Am I looking at the wrong thing? lol. I've heard you mention $20-30. Maybe it has gotten so popular, they raised the prices? Love your channel and excited about getting my garden up and vertical this year 🙂
I’m planting a total 16 pole green beans and 54 bush beans. It’s just me and my wife. I’m guessing that’s plenty for two?
So we are 100% sure that tomatoes won't climb up the arch of the arched trellises….right ):
What do you think of putting plastic over the trellis and make a greenhouse for the winter from one trellis to the next. Do you think it could work?
Our town is set up so wonky. I live 2 blocks from the major city park. I also love like 6 blocks from our commercial farm feed and supply store. We don't have a truck. My husband and brother in law walked our panels home. Hahahahaha. My son is so excited for watermelons. I have basically planted snacks all over my yard. I dont plan on feeding my kids this summer. Hahaha
Do you also plant on the other side of the cattle panel- maybe not something that grows vertically, but something lower to the ground?
Thank you for this!! I just put up cattle panels in my gardens. I now have an 8ft arch as well as two straight run 8ft panels.. My question is, can you plant on both sides? meaning in a straight run panel, can I plant tomatoes on the outside and on the inside or would that be too risky to the health of my plants? I'm planning on doing 6 plants on the inside. but I would like to put in another 2 on the outside if its not too risky.
Sometimes when I hear that people ask if you can plant different things on each side of the trellis, I wonder if they actually mean one thing on the top (outside) of the trellis and another on the underside (inside) of the trellis, not realizing that the plants will cross through and go wherever they want (and that one might shade the other too much if they plant on both the inside and outside).
How many butternut squash plants do you grow on a panel? Still two at each end?
Jess you have the best hair.
My kid took a handful of my mixed dried beans last year. She got nervous with the reports of shortages in the store.. Maybe 1/8 of a cup. She worked her ass off. Sprouted them, weeded it watered it. Her yield was 2 cups of mostly red and black beans. Fortunately she thought that was tons. This year we helped her pick out good seeds she can have fun with like a popcorn variety, 3 color mixed green beans and colorful bell peppers. Im so excited for her, its going to work out so much better
Which direction are the length of your raised beds…..North to South or East to West?
5 boys? Them beans don't do too far with that amount. You are very busy then.
I am very excited to try using arched trellises this year. Can anyone tell me approximately how many squash plants I could put on a 50" x 16' arched trellis? I was hoping to do 1 each butternut, acorn, spaghetti and zucchini. I know that the zuke will need tied and that I may need to support the larger fruits. Thanks and love the videos!
Is there a recommended direction-to-the-sun that arched trellises are best placed? Is it best to set the sides facing East & West with the tunnel running N & S, or does it not matter? Thanks LOVE your VLOGs!!!
They will know what they are if they work in a farm store
Such great information. One of my favorite farm/garden/growing channels.
I had my cattle panels delivered. The delivery fee was almost the cost of each panel…so…..I sorta got 3 for the price of 4. Still pretty cheap for a trellis that will outlast me.
You have helped to save my life! God bless you and your family!
Good morning Jess, God bless you and your beautiful family. I can not tell you how much your videos mean to us. I have “grown” things since I was a child (I’m 52) but never successfully. Basically because I’m lazy outside. But we have recently (past couple of years) gotten a lot more serious about it. Especially now. My question to you is this: we have put in several raised beds and I want so bad to do the cattle trellises. But I’m worried about shading, how to orient them so that some things aren’t totally in the shade. But all the videos I watch of your tours all of yours seem to be getting plenty of sun. I live in Central Texas so some shade might not be bad. Should I be worried about things getting “shaded out”?
