What is the best trellis for cucumbers?
Metal A-frame trellises are popular supports for vining cucumbers. Most are about four to five feet tall, which is ideal for cucumber plants and are very easy to set up. While the plants are small, you can plant a fast-growing crop like leaf lettuce or arugula in the space under the trellis.
What is the best way to support cucumbers?
Wire and String Trellis
The best way to support cucumbers in most cases is to train them on a trellis along a wall or the edge of a raised bed. The trellis should be at least 6 feet tall and because the fruit can become quite heavy, it should also be strong.
How wide should a cucumber trellis be?
The trellis has an overall height of 8 feet and is 3 feet wide. 20 inches of the trellis will be buried in the ground, to give the erected trellis a height of 76 inches (or 6 foot - 4 inches). You can make your trellis as small or as big as you need to fit your specific requirements.
