One of my favourite things in the garden is fence panels. They galvanized and don't rust and strong enough to hold squash and pumpkins on them.I bought them at TSC stores on sale for about $35. The biggest challenge was getting 16' panels home!I decided to go with gothic shaped arches, so I measured half way and put a bend in them. To pin them to the ground, I used 3' re-bar... perhaps overkill.
I pinned the edges about 3-4 feet apart The result is I can walk under them comfortably, while picking whatever I am growing on them. Gravity tends to make the produce hang downwards, making beans and tomatoes a cinch to pick. This one got butternut and gem squash growing on it.
