Best Trellis: 16' Cattle Panel Arch Hauled in Compact Car

John from www.growingyourgreens.com/ shares with you the cheapest and best gardening trellis you can buy for your square foot garden / raised bed garden, to make an arch trellis or inexpensive metal fencing to keep animals out and haul this 16-foot long panel in your compact car.
In this episode, you will learn the problem John has had in his summer garden: Overgrowth of Purple Sweet Potato Vines and why his dog has been peeing in the house.
You will learn the solution that John will implement to solve the above issue: buying 16-foot long cattle panels aka stock panels so he can create arches in his garden that he can direct his sweet potato vine up the trellis and regain his walkway so hopefully his dog will stop peeing in the house.
You will go on a trip to the Local Tractor Supply so you can learn the best place the purchase cattle panels near you. you will learn about the different sizes and prices that are available.
You will then see John load them onto his Compact Car that is SHORTER than the 16' long cattle panels on his platform carrier on his hitch.
You will then learn if there were any problems transporting them in this way.
Finally, you will discover how John will secure these cattle panels in place to build arches in his garden without using T-posts or Rebar Stakes that are commonly used.
After watching this episode, you will learn the best cattle panels money can buy and how to haul them even if you don't have a Truck or SUV.

I bought 12' length 2x4s and attached them to the rack on the top of my van, then attached the cattle panels to that and I didn't have to bend them. Worked great!!!

[@7munkee]

A Tractor Supply in Nevada....they are there just for yuo, John. Who else farms in the desert?

[@micheleolson9914]

I love your ingenuity & persistence, as I have also hauled many items in smaller cars. Those scratches can cost you dearly once they start rusting (maybe nothing rusts there?) or you trade in your car. Love your urban garden John. 💜

[@WarrenRCG]

Edible Acres, here on KZbin, makes greenhouses out of those. Very crafty John!

[@ThaiThai-sg9hy]

I absolutely adore passionate learners! You seem so naturally happy like a lil kid in a candy store. What a beautiful garden home.

[@judysilva315]

Aloha John from the Big Island! Great idea. On your ground where you put the boards to hold the panels, you should start worms composting down there. Just put some cut pallets with some sturdy plywood top to walk over. Saw that on a permaculture video. Love your ideas!!!

[@thedropshotmaster8759]

That's a really good idea then you wouldn't really need to add castings, if you do wouldn't have to go far

[@katiem9644]

Ive been using cattle panels for probably 10 years. They look as good now as they did when I first bought them. I love them!!

[@imperfectvegan5724]

Good idea and great teamwork!

You are one loco-gardener! Cheers!

[@maranathayall]

Great job strapping that down!

[@vimalars7481]

Use the tender shoots regularly in stir fry. This way you can avoid sweet potato vines spreading all over. The shoots are rich in antioxidants, vitamin A, K, B6, Magnesium. Keeps heart healthy and prevents blood clots.

[@Snailmailtrucker]

I would have bent the panels somewhere around the 7 foot level on both sides to give the top of the trellis some extra strength !

[@missywalker7846]

Everything is growing crazy wild here in Terlingua too! Great job strapping those panels down. Definitely would work on my Subaru roof rack. However, it’s 70 miles to nearest supply store! Thanks for the great ideas always!

[@asdjklasdjkl105]

I remember my husband and I saw you @ gilcrease 3 years ago or so. I hadn’t seen ur videos in years but I knew I recognized ur face. I went online and came back to ur channel. My 2011 raw vegan days r long gone (u know…different times) but my love for vegan food will always be there. I should have gone up to you that day and thanked you for how much of a positive influence you’ve been since long ago. Ps. We ended up picking a really big Armenian cucumber that day but not as big as the one we saw you leave with!! That thing was HUGE!

[@beeparadise1742]

I have the exact same car and appreciate the tip for hauling the panels home. One thing I've done to secure the bottom of cattle panels into the ground is to use bolt cutters to clip out part of the ends of the panels, effectively creating fork-like tines that I then press down into the ground (wetting the ground first if it's hard). This is not as secure as pinning them between solid structures as you did, but in other applications in the garden this works great and takes about five minutes and only requires bolt cutters.

[@Ursala2009]

[@bbrundage3409]

Watch a trucker video on how to roll up the extra strap so they're not hanging like that. A moving banket between the panels and your vehicle next time. Nice video!

[@zg8395]

Your a bad ass, John you are awesome, I wanted some and was trying without renting/ pay people to carry them

[@californiagumbo8702]

LOL. I have a truck and have gotten major flack from my ole man, bout transporting the panels. You've given me the exact ammo needed. Thank you!!!

[@tinyjungle_]

I transport these cattle panels in a similar way. Instead of using zip ties at the ends you can use carabiners. Reusable and not plastic.

[@DennisEnglishREHS]

Keep on Trucking!

[@lloydedmonds8775]

Nice Job Get’n It Done Safely lol I admit; I would have laughed seeing this transported. Props For Ingenuity lol I bought Concrete Reinforcement Wire for my garden. Made a lot of Tomato Cages and Trellis for pole beans and cucumbers.

[@sierramojo5639]

Great job

[@bobby350z]

Always learn something from your videos. I should see if I can fit these folded in my van. I see that you have what looks like EMT conduit trellis. I am making one today as my tomato plants all dropping down from those cheap cages. Need something better for next year.

[@bmiles4131]

Moving these around is like trying to control a giant slinky. I cannot believe he folded 4 like that and got them on his car. They would’ve scratched the car while driving. IF you have his mad skills to get this IN your van, the ends will gouge any vinyl or plastic etc. the sides will scratch. Orange foam and rope to put them on top of the van like a canoe would probably work better. But get a helper or 3 to hold all the corners.

[@kendallas3705]

Ive got 25 of those panels in my garden. Pretty much use them as hoops and tie everything I can off of them. Keeps the plant off the ground and the air flowing thru.

[@nickhammersonrocks]

ROCK ON BROTHER !!!!!

[@katewizer2736]

Glad you got it home! I will have to figure something different;. I have a minibike with a 2&1/2 sq. ft. trailer😯

[@SWCnetworkdr]

A wooden support on either side of the bike, loop the fencing over the top from front to back, attach to wooden supports. It's like driving around (slowly) in a trellis!

[@wingsandbeaksbirder2312]

Brilliant!😊

[@michellelaclair]

#1 get heavy duty bolt cutters #2 cut the cattle panel to height of wall #3 use T post to drive into dirt on OTHER side(s) of walls/ NOT on path side #4 now attach the(shorter) cattle panel to T posts keeping same trellis look but allowing for an actual path. #5 use discarded cattle panels for other trellis use in the garden.

[@strangus]

I use a Dewalt angle grinder for cutting, easy peasy.

[@katjoy9921]

Well done.

[@joanies6778]

There is a video of a couple rolling the panels, tying, and fitting them in the back of their suv. I just asked a neighbor to bring them home in his truck. I have one panel arched over a walkway between 2 beds, secured with t-posts. I'm growing my cucumbers over it. For my San Marzano tomato raised bed, I have 2 panels arched over but they are secured by using Olde Castle landscape blocks, double stacked. There is a hole in the center of each block and I drove the short rebar into the centers. The panel fits in the groove on either side, and are wired to the rebar and each other. I used this as a temp method because I plan to move it as I rotate my tomatoes from bed to bed each year. I use the panels to string my tomatoes up. Also, I place row cover over the top to protect them from the extreme sun when temps exceed mid nineties. Rolling sides up and down using binder clips... It worked great!

There is a similar panel used in concrete construction, maybe those are available.

[@blissfulacresoffgridhomest2098]

Out West Homestead has a great food forest and are in your neck of the desert. Check them out. We are at 3100 feet so gardening is challenging here as we get very little rain and even get some snow in winter..plus constant wind. I am finding that a Fall garden is better than one in spring. Good luck to you from Susan and Rob.

Use zip ties to even up the panel ends to each other cheap solution

[@desertdanblacksmith1394]

I once made a deadfall trap that looked like that (car load)......that size could slap down a Grizz Bear!....lol...no tailgaters!

[@NewYorkJennifer]

It would be better, IMO, if you squished the middle more flat in the driveway before taking it to the garden. That way it wouldn't arch so high. Unless you are quite tall, it's going to be hard to manage the plants on the highest part of the trellis.

have you ever been accused of over thinking stuff?

[@dizzydinonysius]

I really respect you for 'most' of the information you provide however this video delves into a very dangerous territory for people who don't know what they are doing learning from someone who obviously doesn't know what he is doing. The panels are a great addition to a garden but how you got them there and how you installed them are less than desirable through my eyes. Most everyone delivers so there is no excuse to endanger everyone on the road to save a couple bucks. One scratch of paint costs more to repair than a delivery charge. That one trip that cracks your head open on the concrete blocks costs more than the time it takes to installing them safely. Due diligence is not only the narrative for legal matters but also safety, security and public responsibility. Fortunately, you were able to go unscathed, so far, and I hope you the best but in time, even the most abnormal anomalies tend to arise. These of course are compounded by the corners we cut that create opportunity for events that could have been prevented.

[@thekidcalifornia7509]

Dang for not wanting to scratch the car you sure moved it along the paint quit a bit lol

[@catfunksfabulousfinds]

Only you could haul that on a little car. Hope you didn't scratch up your car.
