Climbing, pole or runner beans are amazingly prolific crops and they are attractive too, providing vertical interest in the vegetable garden.
However, they need sturdy supports and, depending on your garden, you’ll want to support them in very different ways.
In this video Ben shows 5 different ways of creating supports for climbing beans so you can pick the best system for maximum harvests.

I don't know which way I prefer. BUT I can't wait to try them. AND not just with beans. Though, Vertical does seem so much better than bush . . . for beans and other plants. I'm actually going to make a trellis for my Malabar spinach first. I didn't realize my malabar was going to vine when I bought it. But it does, and I think it will be glorious on a teepee or A frame. I can't wait to see if it will be perennial in my zone. Thanks. Your video made me think that I would be successful with whichever method I try.
Thank you for the very useful information.
Wowed! Beautiful. Thank you
I'm in the process of turning a patch of my lawn into a veg patch and I've just planted some peas and beans in the hopes of a late harvest, I'm wondering if an X might be a good halfway of the A and V frames? I'm thinking still easy to make with canes and compact space like A, but maybe with bonus of hanging beans like the V
Apart from your nice presentation and valuable tips i like your English.
I like all the ideas! However as I’m really only growing for me I think a modest wigwam of 3 poles and a staggered planting of 6 plants will keep me in beans with plenty for the freezer too! Do wonder if I could try the tunnel though for beans, cucumber and anything else that wants to climb – purely so I can put a deck chair for the shade if this summer is going to happen again!
Brilliant man … Marvelous
Hi Ben…
There was no end to green bean growth this year in our small Meridian ID backyard garden… somewhat the same size as shown in your bean support video. Just enough space for a couple of large tomato plants, several cukes, a couple of peppers, green onions and carrots, and of course the beans! With difficulties locating all the beans through its tall thickness, I had to search for a solution… and there you were! So impressed with the post and wire mesh cage system, and I knew right away that is what we needed, being able to walk through it to pick! Having just finished up removal of the tired plants, I am excited to soon install your system!! Thanks so much! 🙂
Watched this one in the past and watching it again tonight. Have had trouble keeping my tied poles staying together. Observing your method more closely now. Think I got it with the teepee tying.
I'm still having trouble with the cords sliding down the poles as I wrap around from top to bottom. HELP PLZ
Ohhhh the B frame sounds even easier for harvesting. Although, until I'm living near my children who will help me setup frames, the teepee frame I can handle alone. Ohhhh and I like the trellis idea using long thick branches…. I kept my okra center thick branches for future use….. I can build a trellis like you did… looks great
I just wanted to point out to new gardeners that all raw beans can give you food poisoning- make sure you soak and cook all beans before eating! Do not eat them raw, off of the vine!
Good show , you were a Boy Scout , you know how to tie a tpee wrap , cheers Ben .
I like to put a variety of frame shapes in, walls, arches, aframes for beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
My favorite is a 45° angle trellis, because even started on the far side of one bed and have it shade some of your other plants
This video was very helpful
We have such an issue with pests eating everything! That we have to net everything from beans to cabbage! Bettween the rabbits and the birds there will be not much left
To support my beans I like to tell them how proud of them I am, and how well they're doing. I tell them that I've always got their back no matter what happens.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice bamboo job,very good ideas for bamboo use .
I have been watching and learning from your videos. Thanks for all the tips.
These videos always make me feel better. I think its the enthusiasm or maybe the music. It doesn't matter either way. Keep on rocking, mate!
I came here bc two of what I'm doing doesn't seem to be working. Last year in TX I used a metal trellis for beans in a pot, and when it got hot, they burned up, I guess bc the metal got too hot. So this year I decided to make some trellis out of cedar fence pickets, and guess what? The peas that came up don't seem to like it! I swear they're avoiding it, so I took it out. Maybe it's the smell of the cedar they don't like? Now I guess I'll cut some bamboo and use string. Steve, you must living in a mild climate if you're using metal for a trellis.
So many ideas from this one video. I'm so excited about the potential of my little garden
I think I'll try the teepee, A-frame, and cattle fence up the wall.
