- This is one of my favorite ways to DIY garden trellises. I’ve made about 7 for my garden so far. They’re simple, inexpensive, functional and add beauty to any space!

FANTASTIC!
I just realized today that I have to many climbing plants for my raised garden beds. I was going to use chicken wire fencing to trellis everything up, but I am using a cane and don't have the strength to do it.
Now this I can do, so grateful to you sweet child, you made my day and now I can continue to finish my garden.
At my age, 73 years, I'm able to grow all the climbing vegetables for the senior citizens in my neighborhood. I fond it so much fun and great exercise, but who has the money for these outrageous prices. I'm always looking for ways to keep the cost down. Thank God I saw this video. Please show us more.
I love you! Thank you for being you and being amazing. I am forever thankful.
Girl when you used your tummy to bend the arches… subscribed. we friends now. I love you 😭
hah! yes I was won over with that too haha
@@samatronn LOL, a year or so later, I did the same! We have to use what we have and if it’s a tummy? Go for it! 🎉
😂😂
😀😀
🤣
We women have our own way of doing things, and I appreciate the inexpensive DIY trellis! Good job!
I’ve seen some trellis builds and while they look stunning and gorgeous, I’m still a bit intimidated to give them a try 😅 one day, I’ll give it a shot but until then, I like these types of trellises that doesn’t require a whole lot of tools or supplies and can be set up in no time!
I like the fact that they dont take hours to make. You do what most would rather do. I love your personality. 😉
Nice garden and trellis, is it sturdy in strong wind too?
I like your smile👌
In which state and zone you are in?
You remind me of myself and ispire me. I have my 1 bed apartment, paying $2200 in rent, no yard of course, but damn right I'm making full use of my large balcony with 2 tables filled with plants, 2 raised beds, hummingbird feeder (which they do come), and now a trellis!
Oh! And a peach tree on my front patio 😁
Thank you! ❤
So wonderful to see a young innovative , mechanical and practical woman growing a productive garden in a small space.
Look forward to viewing more of your videos.
I know! I’m so inspired by this beautiful, cheerful, innovative young lady that I subscribed.
An idea is to layer two ladders, offsetting the cross bar, so then you don't have to add the X's in the each empty space.
They'd be sturdier, too.
Add ladders together and make it wider. Wonder how much weight it can hold before collapsing.?
Hmm good idea
Mine, after excitedly watching this video, is thus: I wired 2 together side by side. I then wired a third, with the doubled long side of the previous pair running down the middle. This 3rd one is also offset so thT the crossbar is centered between the cross bars of the others. (I used zipties.) In the open space to the right of the center ladder, I ran a braided polyester cord zigzag from one right angle to the next, and mirrored it in the space on the left side of the structure. I had to dig a little to put the middle section's longer side in the ground. With zip ties I attached the center double vertical to rebar instead of wooden posts. It looks good! I hope the Armenian cucumbers like it as much as I do! *Thank you* for getting me started!
You are just so real! I love that you showed all your work and oops’ssss….lol! All while smiling! You are a joy! Thank you 😊
Thank you! The truth is, when I first started making content, I wanted everything to be perfect. I’d cut out all the mistakes so I wouldn’t embarrass myself but the truth is, gardening is always gonna be full of mistakes! Some big, some small but keeping that in might helps others not feel alone if they ever mess up too. Gardening is a journey of learning and most importantly having patience… lots and LOTS of patience!😁
Gardening can also be for those without a green thumb, lol. Like me. Best to not stress, and like you say, learn as you go, and enjoy the journey.
I've been using the ladder mesh for years. Instead of using wires I use zip ties, which are cheap and much faster. I also go around and collect old political sign wire (called H brackets at Home Depot) and zip tie them together. Recycling!
What do I search to find that, she didn't say what it was called nor the price. Thanks!!
Does it rust after awhile?
Heck yeah, it's almost election Day ♥
If you lve in a very hot, sunny area as I do, zip ties won't last; the sun makes the plastic brittle and they snap easily.
You can get metal zip ties if you don't like plastic.
Oh my gosh, girl you just made me laugh so hard, I'm a newbie backyard gardener and watching so many UA-cam vids, all serious like, and I was getting overwhelmed and discouraged. You just magically (HP⚡- 9 3/4😉) made it fun and down to earth again, thank you so much for keeping a sense of humor even in the challenges. Thank you so much for the inspiration, Lord bless ya!🌿🌳🌻🌱🌷😁
You might like David the Good's channel. He is brilliant at showing how to create an awesome garden with hardly any money.
This is exactly how I felt too! I was like, so discouraged because there are so many creators that are fixated on being serious and it doesn’t open up the door to people just starting out. Def gonna follow this channel from now on
I use ladder mesh all the time but use zip ties. They do last quite a while plus I often take them down each year so the weather is off of them during the Winter ❄️ great job!!!!
Me too
Roots and Refuge is also done to Earth. They have recently relocated to a large area so you might like the older videos better.
This was great. I really enjoyed it.
I have a small car and I thought I would have to rent a uhall to get cattle panels. This is a life saver! Thank you so much! Keep up the wonderful work!
Thank you so much! I wish you all the best in your garden endeavors and hope all your trellises fill with beauty and abundance☺️
Watching this in February of '24, I thank you for teaching me some ways to solve technical issues I'd been thinking about recently..Great ideas!!!
I love your video. I like the fact that you dont have a garage with electric tools and measuring devices. You made it fun and easy. I get tired of the $100+ DIY's with everything perfectly measured and put together with power tools. They wear me out! You made a real video with inexpensive supplies and made it feel like ANYONE could do it. No matter your skill level,age, or amt of money. Great job. Gardening is expensive enough w/o having to buy barriers and trellis's for hundreds more dollars. Thank you for keeping it real.🤗 You are cute and funny. Sorry you had to unwrap your trellis that was too tall. I think I would have cut off a few inches from the bottom! 🤣
The garden is your oyster and you are my cup of tea! Loving your ideas & style!
Your words are so kind! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart☺️
I really do mean it, my dear. Thanks for sharing your wisdom! @@DiariesofaPlantGirl
I'm not in the climate that I can train pomegranates, but it's about time to plant peas around here!
Subscribed at “is my camera cracked ?! *gasp* Yup. We r friends now 😂
Loved her "is my camera cracked?"
Quick thought... instead of cutting the wire so much to make the Xs, just start at one end, attach it, go across diagonally to the next corner, wrap once or twice, cross diagonally to the next corner, wrap once or twice and so on until you hit the end. Then start the next wire on the opposite side where you ended, do the same thing (only hitting the corners opposite from where you've already wired) but stop in the center to wrap once before continuing on.
It's possible you'll run out of wire before hitting the end, but, technically, you should use less wire (I'm tired so I could be wrong on this one, it'll either be less or the same) and you DEFINITELY will cut the wire fewer times.
Not sure I can get this stuff in Canada but I'll definitely check into it because your idea is awesome!
Delightful video. I got into straw-bale gardening last year because my space is very limited. Was accidentally & ridiculously very successful. Used cattle panel in an arch shape to grow beans & cukes and it was so spectacular that I had people asking to get married under it! However, this the ladder mesh approach is cheaper & easier and will fit some smaller spaces I’m now going to be able to fill and fit with trellis! Brilliant idea. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Thank you and that sounds lovely! I’d like to try and experiment stare bales this year as well. Wishing you the best of luck on your trellises!
@@DiariesofaPlantGirl Make sure it's clean straw with no persistent herbicides sprayed on it 👍
I saw the tree u wanted to vine is on the outside of the trellis is that how water mellons should be placed? I new and first time attempting this and want to make sure i place my container garden correctly, Thanks.
@@christianlaws8204I'm also really curious how to use these for watermelon. Do you hold the fruits up with bags to add support?
You just gave me a GREAT IDEA on how to make a tunnel in my garden with netting. Thank you!
Great Job!
You actually don’t need the wire for theX’s…. It can be done with kitchen string and quickly tied the whole length on one side before coming back in the other direction to cross as an X, as I found that many climbing plants like Morninglory and clematis, etc. need a VERY tiny, thin line to grab onto ….and at the end of the season it’s easy to just cut out the string in the middle of your ‘fence’and grab off all the dead plant material in one bunch…works for me! The string is covered in no time and not visible during the growing season, and I found it keeps My Archway clear of plant debris and ready for the following year by just cutting off a couple of yards of skinny white string from the dollar store at the end of the season…. Plus I find it easier to make it really tight. Whereas twisting wire is hard on my hands…cheap too.
Can’t wait to see your backyard in full season ! Good ideas!
Wow! Great Idea. I've never heard of ladder mesh. I'm glad you produced this video. I'm a second year gardener.
Good luck on your garden and I hope you’re able to make lots of cool trellises for your vertical plants!☺️
Thank you sweetheart❤ you’re still helping other gardeners succeed! I’m have a very small townhome garden and cattle panels aren’t an option. I’ve been in Lowes and Home Depot for years and NEVER noticed these 🥴 Thank you so much! Happy gardening everyone 🪴🌱🫛🌱🪴
R.I.P. to the 99 cents stores!!! I loved their inexpensive garden & holiday products throughout my whole life!
I'm watching this in the last week of April 2024, and you've given me such inspiration!!! I have seeds left over from my Hyacinth vines, and I wish to grow them again at my new house in the desert. I miss their flowers!
Thank you! thank you!
You've found a new subscriber!
I like that you are a real person doing real life projects even making those real life mistakes that we OCDs must correct! Thanks for being real!
lol do you think she's a hologram?Women talk weird.
This is the first one I've seen that shows how to attach it to the outside of a bed. TY!
I’m happy this video was helpful!☺️ attaching it to the outside made a world of a difference!
@Diaries of a Plant Girl heck yeah! I went with something like thick gauge chicken wire bc that is better for my needs but I'm applying the same concept
“Have you guys seen that episode of The Office when Michael Scott is building stuff?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love your video. Thanks for the ideas.❤️
I applaud your creativity, ingenuity, and budget-friendly approach. You are a very hard worker and your garden certainly shows it! Thanks for sharing your ideas!
I know. She's fantastic !
I’m watching you and realizing that I can use this method to build my own arching support for the patio garden that gets whipped by the wind. WooHoo! 🥳 You saved us sooo much money, and these can be custom-made for each individual area or plant. Thank you. 🙏
Love this idea! I discovered this two years ago and saved a little time by connecting them With zip ties. The x’s to provide more support for the plants is genius! And the side by side idea? Genius!
One does have to plan for zip ties breaking as sun eventually wrecks the plastic. So galvanized wire would last much longer.
Young lady... I really enjoyed your video. You are so down to earth and pleasant! I am a newbie and I was searching YT for a trellis/lattice idea for my attempt at gardening. Your example is definitely more simple than spending alot of money on lattice and building the frame etc etc, then... What if I don't succeed at planting? I'd be so mad I spent the time and money for my plants not survive n thrive. I am definitely gonna watch you for more ideas and tips. Thank you and keep smiling!
I am definitely going to make these for all of my pole beans this year and probably the cucumbers,cowpeas,smaller melons and other suitable climbers. Thanks!
I wish you the best of luck! I know they’ll look gorgeous covered in vines ☺️
Girl I think you just put me on game to be able to grow more on the low cost side. Thank you. Def 👍🏾
you solved my trellis problem by sharing yours thank you. Also showing you needed to redo gave me what to watch and plan for. Thank you
Make a trellis for a scarlett runner bean plant for your hummingbirds. Beautiful red flowers. The hummingbirds love them.I Love the shadow created from the trellis . Adds a new depth.
I’ve never grown scarlet runner beans but I definitely will now! I adore hummingbirds! Thank you so much for your recommendation 😊
@@DiariesofaPlantGirl The beans are really sweet and edible when they are 4 inches then they will grow 6-8 inches long if left on til spring and produce your seeds for next year. I had one grow in my front window. It was in a pot. Happy growing😊 I also made a t pee out of sticks, tied them together at the top, made holes for them to stick into the ground, added a seed and bammm a tee pee filled with humming birds.
I came across your channel this morning, as I was trying to figure out to do some trellising for a greenhouse I have on order. Thank you for sharing what you chose. As I was watching, my husband started watching with me, and he said "She is just like you" in ref. to how you share, talk and smile. Keep the green and colorful garden growing!!
Loved this video and you! So glad it showed up on my feed. I’ll be bingeing this channel!!
You are just the cutest! With the greatest ideas! Thank you for sharing!
Blessings
You have a lovely garden. The hummingbirds are a nice added touch.
Thank you so much! This video has been so encouraging! I'm so excited to try it!!!
May you be blessed as you continue to bless others😊
This is cool. I’ve seen and bought a cattle panel last year. But this is the first time I’ve seen this ladder mesh idea. Thank you 🤗🌱
You are so creative and knowledgeable, I had to subscribe! Perfect timing too, Thank you!!! This is just what I needed...
Haha oh my gosh the ending, I love that for you! This is to the point and gives you resources couldn't have asked for a better video.

I really needed an inexpensive option to the cattle wire this summer.
You have a beautiful garden! Thanks for sharing! 🎉
Thank you for doing the trellis construction while you talk about the materials and your garden. I appreciate what you do!
I’ve been using these but never thought about joining two! I will definitely make some doubles for my berries and passionfruit. Thanks!
I enjoyed watching you build the trellis❤
I love how candid you are🤗❤️🦋
Thanks for sharing what you know🍀
Love the Office…you have great sense of humor…applies to me too. Great money saving project!
❤ this! thank you for the idea! I love your channel, as a fellow Arizonan, this gives me hope for adding some needed shade my yard for very little expense.
Love this so much! Great idea and you have a beautiful garden!
You are awesome! Love your good energy and techniques!
This is an amazing idea and I LOVE your personality! So fun! Thank you
I love the trellis idea you had! I’m going to try making these for my climbing roses. Thank you!👍👏
Beautiful garden your hard work and love is showing!
Just beautiful and practical at the same time! You are a great teacher!!
Thank you for this. I was just getting ready to go to Home Depot to look at trellis and raised beds. You have given me inspiration. ❤
Wow! You’re so SMART & creative! Not only that, you’re funny, & I get the sense you’re as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside! THANK YOU for sharing your precious time, creativity, ideas, & etc, with all of us! Just came across your channel, & I will definitely be back!

Hi Plant Girl! Your video just popped up in my feed and I LOVE this idea! This looks like something I can do myself. Thank you so much for sharing!
This is an amazing and cheaper idea. I will definitely make this for my raised beds this gardening season. I will also use them for my beans and climbing roses. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for making this video! I have been feeling teaching myself how to do things in the garden but I really can’t spend so much money. I appreciate all of these resources because not only do you get a very functional result, you ALSO get a super good looking one too! I can’t say thank you enough 🙏
I absolutely love your video! I know exactly how you felt about the trellises not being the same size, I would have done the exact same thing and been fussing the entire time 😅 Thank you for making this video. 🌱💚
Okay, you are adorable just like a baby sister ❤️. Love your energy and your “let’s try it” attitude! Plus I learned a whole bunch 😊…totally subscribed ✍️
Love this idea. Your garden looks great.
What a great idea for a small space garden! Thank you for posting.
Your video just came up in my feed and I thoroughly enjoyed it! You are fun and I like that you kept saying make it the way you want. The garden is your oyster! And that you got it all tidied up and turned around and made a mess of it the next day. Boy, that is my everyday life! I often wonder to myself, you work so hard and it only looks good for half a day! I think that's just the way it is.
This is Brilliant! Thank you for this video! A pre-made trellis was so expensive and I was trying to fig out how to make one cheap.
You’re really good! Very clear and simple directions! I’ve been wanting a trellis for a long time! And I need to save money obviously. Thank you.
This is such an awesome idea and my mind is spinning on projects.
First time watcher! You are adorable and fun! Thanks for sharing such a great idea!
You are a true perfectionist, beautifly done. Your garden area is amazing. Thanks for the ideas for trellises. I will be adding a garden space to my yard and I would love to do this.❤
I just came across this video and I’m 100% going to try this!!! I grew morning glories from seed and they are almost to the point of taking over one corner of my greenhouse so I have to get them in the ground tomorrow and I had no idea what to use for trellises so this is going to be it. I’m so excited 😆
Thank you for this valuable information! I need an inexpensive trellis this year and this will work well for me.
Love this! I was trying to problem-solve a trellis system in the greenhouse for pole beans. This is perfect!!
thank you...keep these natural, honest videos up.
I love your positivity vibe.❤
They are so cute can’t wait to see how they look all filled out! ❤
Your garden is lovely, thank you.
So helpful. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to making trellis for our gardens. So inexpensive. What a blessing. Thank you.
Thank you for the alternative to cattle panels!! This ladder mesh will be perfect and much more manageable for me.
Awesome video!! And I absolutely love, love, love that you wanted to make them all match so there’d be symmetry! I totally get that and I would do the same thing. I’m getting ready to put up some of the elevated garden beds from Costco so I’m saving your video. Thanks so much! xo
Omg, I love this!! THank you for sharing with us. I am a semi-new gardener and need some trellises and this will work.
Your garden looks amazing and I love the trellises you have made! I have subscribed and will follow along to see your garden grow!
Brilliant! I am doing this for beans and melons this year. Thank you!
Loved this video. And, "1st, coffee"! Great start...to trellis building.
omg, thank you!! I saw the expensive version of this on another YT and knew there was a cheaper option but didn't know the name or where to look. Lots of good practical advice!
Good job! I love your sense humor. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching, I hope you have a lovely day!☺️
Thank you for this! I am a newbie gardener in Arizona but it has been hard to find gardeners in Arizona that deal with the zoning and are able to help me understand how to garden in Arizona.
It's a pleasure watching you... you actually remind me of my little sister. She is fun, bright and full of life like you. Thank you for your content. I can tell you get excited about it. I'm dying to attract humming birds... they're my favorite bird.
This looks super pretty! I’m going to give it a try.
I love your personality! You make it very relatable. Also the video content is great. I appreciate that you are being fiscally smart in this video. Thank you!
Nice video,so down to earth,good info. You seem like such a happy gardner.
I just came across your channel and i really like you. You are so sweet and have a fun sense of humor. I really like this idea! I've wanted some trellises but the expense is crazy. Definitely going to make some and I will be be following you!
You're a Star Gardener for sure! Thank you for the great tips and oh my... the amazing example of perseverance!!
Thank you so so much!!💚
What a great idea with minimal costs! Thanks for posting this video!
Freaking genius 👏. Girl I've been using the straight tomato cages for my melons, cucumbers and squash for years sigh. Really any veggies with vines but your method will save me more space to grow below for growing my cabbage! Girl thank you! New subbie
Thank you for such a clever and economical idea/tutorial!
