Use This Cucumber Trellis for a HUGE Harvest! 

Hot tip… plant your spinach and lettuce under the trellis. The cucumbers will protect them from the sun and stop them from bolting as early.

Instead of cutting the angle on the tops of verticals and screwing them together, I overlapped the ends of the verticals and drilled and bolted them with a wing nut. That way it folds flat for storage for the next season

If you don’t have the saw for the angle I just use a small hinge at the top. It also folds up and is easy to store.

Love the idea of using yarn the help with the trellising and the basic build A-frame system. You are one of the first youtube gardeners that I have come across that mentions how mentally restorative gardening can be. I have to agree with this 100%. I have always said that my garden has gotten me through some tough times in life both mentally and physically. Would love it if you posted your pickle recipe (if it isn't a family secret!).

I'm a 71 year old Englishman. I live just north of Stonehenge in southern England. Our soil is amazing greensand and anything will grow. I've just come across your site and I thank you for the ideas. We are never too late to learn.

With lumber costing an arm and TWO legs nowadays, I am going to use bamboo from a friend's bamboo forest and make a few Gilligan's Island A-frame trellises for all kinds of veggies. Thanks for the idea!

You couldn't have made this easier! I wouldn't have thought about making a trellis myself until watching this. Im making them all myself now!!

I was so inspried by this video, I ran out and made one very similar for myself. And it came out great! I painted it with primer. Will add second coat before crisscrossing it with carpenter's string. Can't wait to see my cucumbers use this later in the season. Thanks! Now I need someone to show me how to make homemade pickles.

you have combined my two loves in to one video. Gardening, and woodworking.

I have the entire side of the garage covered in 4x8 pieces of fencing. Usually only plant 2 to 4 plants and I get more cucumbers than the neighborhood and I can eat. I love to garden and have been for the better part of 40yrs, I just can't eat some of the things as much as i used to, so I share with all my family and friends.

Just discovered your channel and already have a million ideas to work towards for this year and years to come. Can't wait!

I have a different setup, but will now be the adding the yarn. Thanks!

Built two, one for beans and one for cucumbers. So far so good! Thanks!

I will make some variant of this (and the tomato, and squash one) this week and I am so excited! Thank you for these amazing videos.

So glad I found this channel ❤

Just found your channel. My husband and I are very excited to learn new ideas. Blessings 🙏😁

Thanks for putting this up for first time growers of cucumbers in her 70's 😂

That’s wonderful!! Love your mission in the garden; you rock✨🙌🏻

You make this look so easy! Thank you!

Nice demo. Excellent idea. We can grow up when space is critical! I especially like the dual benefits of clean produce not laying in mud, and being able to harvest without bending to the ground. I began gardening when I was six with grandma and have been at it ever since. You're right about the mental benefits, plus physical benefits in both fitness and in eating the freshest organic food. It's my 60th garden now for this year 2023. Cheers

You are so very detailed im gonna try it. Fantastic build mr.🎉

Thank you so much for this 😊. You're the first person to give Every step. I'll be trying this method immediately.

Great looking trellis. I think I will just overlap the 2x2s and run a stainless bolt/washer/nut thru at the top so it can be easily folded and stored off-season. A lot easier to construct and possibly sturdier without those angled cuts and screws.

Sounds and looks good. I think I will try it this year. 😊

Hey Jordan! Happy spring!! Isn’t it lovely to be out gardening again? Great job on the comparison and delivery of the best cucumber trellis. I love this and I will be giving it a go. Although I’m not nearly as handy as you are. 😆 you make it look easy.

Hi Jordan! This looks great. I really want to try it in my garden. Thanks for sharing this!

Great idea. Very nice. We’re going to put one of these.

Excellent idea, I’ll be putting this together soon. Thanks!

Love this! We already have around a dozen 16' 2x2's, so I may use 2x2 for the whole thing. Some rabbet joints may be in order.

Love this!! Good job!

Thank You for great video!!!

Thank you for your channel. I find gardening to be a great place for mental health. For me weeding is a stress relief. I appreciate you including about the 6’ and 4’ change on your trellis because it gives gardeners options, depending on their own personal space. I do not have a large quantity of yarn, but do you think that cotton butcher twine might have the same positive results? Instead of buying plastic cords for tying plants up, I bought a whole roll of butcher twine from my local butcher shop. Best $6 I ever spent for gardening!

Thats Absolutely Badass!!!!!

hi! love your channel, just subscribed, really like your teaching style Jordan! I’m so going to make your trellis!

Excellent trellis. Great job!

I I built The Structure for the cucumbers Now where do I plant the cucumbers right in the center of the structure or on the outside of it it doesn't matter Very good video thank you

I am learning soooo much from you and your fantastic videos. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing.

Cool, Thanks !

I would also love to see what you would suggest for a vine tomato trellis (next video idea... nudge, nudge : )

New subscriber! Love this content! Not enough garden content out there on how to make affordable garden structures. Thanks!

Thank you I'm going to make one

Great video. I'll try this year and hopefully increase my cucumber yield. I like to build and work in my shop so I may end up making enough to give away to friends.

I just got inspired 💯❤....thank you for sharing. ❤🇳🇬❤

I needed this today.

What an amazing channel!

great helpful video

Thanks, I’ll try that trellis idea,

Hi Jordan! Thanks for your channel. It makes me smile. I’m in my second gardening season and healing post-viral illness. I appreciate the simple solutions. What are the screws you used for the trellis?

An A-frame makes sense. I've had a lot of luck sticking them on arched walkway trellises. Or Arch trellises that go over top of seating areas and a sand box for my kids to give them shade.

Jordan I love your channel. I also like your motivation. Even without additional mental health problems gardening is just plain good for the soul. Question: what if I want to build a trellis that has a wider footprint with a little more space at the apex? Would I cut the angles shorter than 9inches or make that angle cut longer? I’m not that mechanically inclined so I’d love the advice. 😊

I love this. So simple, inexpensive, and elegant. I am going to build this this weekend for my cucumbers. Do you think this would also work well for squash?

Great info…. Thx👍🤠

Hi, appreciate the time you take on the videos. I've already started building my trellis! Any suggestion on the type of yarn to use? Are certain types better than others (cheaper?). Thanks!

What type of squash works best on this trellis? Thx! I love these garden structures!

Very cool! I don’t have all of your fancy tools and I don’t want to shade out my bush beans so I’m trying a leaning trellis this year, kind of like your squash trellis last year. Hopefully will allow room to grow without them laying on the ground and maybe I can fit a lettuce or two underneath

Great video young fella 🥒🥕🥔🌶 I'm always looking to improve my raised planters. Last year was a bumper crop as a queen bee moved onto my property & she's back same place again. I share my vegetables with family n friends & helps feed us thro the winter with my harvested whitetail n grouse. 74+🍁 hunter Yorkshire expat

Love it

Jordan in your 4ft teepee for cucumbers , how many plants do you put under them to grow up them?

How is the trellis set over the cucumber plants? Centered or to one side? Or are they growing up both sides? Gonna build this today. Thanks for the video!

Hey there! This is my first year with a vegetable garden. I'm curious how far apart you would plant your cucumber plants, how many would you plant for this size trellis.. would they be planted on each side or under it? Just started following you and will keep watching. Thanks!!😊

Can you use a tomato trellis for Japanese cucumbers? I bought a tiny plant and did not know it was a climbing plant! Thank you! Loved your video!

Hi I love growing Cucumbers I made a Trellis out of PVC pipe and some webbing it works perfectly. Wish I could send a picture!!!

The best trellis I have found is a sheet of 4 X 8 foot welded wire mesh used to reinforce concrete mounted on two t bars hammered into the ground at each end. Simple cheap and lasts for decades. I remove each year to accommodate tilling but in a no til garden it could be left in place

I will definitely try this. How far apart do you space your cucumbers and I assume you plant 2 rows?

Hey Josh on the cukes trellis how many plants did plant under it? And did start in the center or 2 rows?

Helluva trellis.

Wondering what area you live? First time I watch you, but I subscribed, can't wait to make one. All the best to you.

I am planning on using a miter box to make my cuts do you know what angle the tops of each end piece is cut to?

Great trellis! My garden is up against a fence and if I build an A-frame, I fear the back of the plants won’t get any sun, so should my trellis then be built like the one you made for your tomatoes?

how many cucumber seeds do you put on each side? i'm going to build this right now, thanks, looks like a great idea

Hi, Do you have any paticular favorite type of cucumber you like to grow? The ones in your video looks like marketmore cucumbers?

What do you feed the cumbersome to make them grow. Last year couldn’t grow any

Hybrid gardening / workshop video … perfect!

I need this cucumber trellis

Any suggestions for planting at 6300 ft in Colorado ? Too hot or too much sun ?

How can you do this with container cuccumbers? Your video was so helpful

This is wonderful. I'm going to do this tomorrow morning. Just one quick question, how many cucumber plants per trellis? Just one or can it accommodate two plants? Thank you so much!

Do I plant the cucumbers directly under the first string of yarn or a little on the inside or outside.?

Thanku for your video! What else could be used besides yarn?

Did I miss it, what variety of cucumbers did you grow? They look very healthy.

Would all varieties of cucumbers grow well with this arrangement? We usually grow burpless cucumbers. Also, with this size trellis, did you plant your seeds in hills and how many seeds?

So do you just plant the cucumber directly under the trellis

I am planning on buying a 16 foot hog panel and making an arch out of it. Have you tried that before?

Can you make it foldable? I like to be able to store my trellis''s flat.

I’m a new gardener & very anxious to learn the basics of how to grow optimal product from the space I have …. How far apart do you put the plants under the a frame. Seed package says 4’ apart???

I’m looking to do a 30 foot long trellis.. obviously I need to make smaller sections. Currently my beds are 3 feet apart but I want to put a trellis that is 5 feet so it would have to go in each of my beds .. this is so I have a walkway underneath for people to enjoy as the vegetables grow up around them. I’m also going to light up the walkway with solar lights. What do you recommend to use and how big of a span for each section I’m guessing 4’L I would like the height to be 7 feet once in the ground so that if any fruit Bears comes down, it’s not hitting most people in the head note, I’m not only using it for cucumbers, but any type of gourd or watermelon, etc. cantaloupe you name it I’ve got 30 feet of space and can plant on either side .. what do you think I should use for the trellising up? Meaning there’s a roll of temporary fencing that I could mold around these frames I’m not for sure if it’s sturdy enough for some of these plants and I’m also trying to be cost effective this is why I chose not to use cattle panel and metal stakes. It was gonna be over $500 I would need nine cattle panels +4 steaks for each panel which is 36 in total..

Where do you plant the cucumbers? Right underneath the a-frame in the middle or closer to where they are staked?

What are the burlap bags in background of your shop

Can you plant the Cucumbers directly underneath the a frame right on the centre or can you plant them in between the outer posts?

My cucumber leaves are pretty crispy is that normal??? Thanks for any info you might be able to share

hi what kind of yarn do you usually use?

Where do you plant the actual cucumbers once you’ve built the trellis? Should you plant them just outside the crossbeams and A frame or directly underneath?

How do know when to harvest. I surely don't want to prematurely early, rather they still can big bigger. Thank you.

Love the video simple I just had a question I'm not a woodworker I'd like the angle but I like my angle to be more the base spot of it to be more wide how do you come up with you know to cut the 9 in or the 6 in other than just doing a trial run how do I come up with that angle to cut I wanted to bit wider than the footprint you have

I wish I had your carpentry skills

I have never had any luck growing cucumbers. The vines produce many, many flowers, I'll get a few fruits and then the whole plant starts to wither. Ant growing tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

How many cucumber plants could that 4 ft trellis accommodate? And do you plant on both sides? Great video 😊

Do I plant my plants on the outside of the trellis or in the inside of it??

I want to plant cucumbers and zucchinis on the same bed. Would you let them share the same trellis or have a dedicated trellis for each?
