How We Built Arched Trellises to Expand Our Growing Space

Come along with us as we extend our growing space with vertical gardening using arched trellises. We built 7 DIY arched trellises using cattle panels in less than 2 hours, and it was so simple!

We used 16’ cattle panels from a local farm store, 4’ t-posts, and zip ties and the effect in the garden is simply stunning. Aside from adding interest to our garden design, beauty and space for David Austen climbing roses, these DIY trellises allow us to grow vertically, adding nearly 200 square feet to our growing space!

That is a HUGE deal when we are trying to grow all our own food in our 1/3 acre backyard homestead! We were able to get all the supplies for under $50 per trellis in 2024, making them by far the largest and cheapest options we could find. We hope you enjoy our video on how to build diy arched trellises, and get some valuable tips and tricks and ideas of how else you might use cattle panels to build cucumber trellises, tomato trellises, melon trellises, squash trellises, pumpkin trellises and more!
