I am going to give the long gourds a try this year. I need some plans or ideas on how to build a trellis. Pictures would be great.
Thanks,
Dude

I made mine out of (3)16 foot 4x4's placed 3 feet in the ground. Then on the top I have (2) 2 x 8's with 8 foot 2 x 4 fencing covering the top. Next year I will put angle supports to help stabilize the trellis when it is full of foliage.

Two 8 by 4 foot rectangular frames of 2 by 3's leaned against eachother in an A shape (8 foot side vertical, 4 foot side on ground) with chicken wire nailed to both sides. Easy portable, foldable, storeable, and work well for all climbing things. Good Luck, and Good Growing, AleX.
