Setting Up A Cattle Panel Trellis

If you are looking for a great trellis idea that’s simple and easy to do this is for you. This is the second of of these type of trellis we have done in our garden and we absolutely love it. It is very durable and can withstand a lot of weight. Our children have actually climbed on top of it.
So what exactly is a trellis? A trellis is a frame of latticework used as a screen or as a support for climbing plants.
We use our trellis for cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, long beans, and many other climbing plants. That is why we use the cattle panel and t post because we want it to support that weight.
The cattle panels are 16 ft. long and 50 in. high and the T post is 6 ft. long.
“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.” Ephesians‬ ‭4:4-7‬ ‭

I built my cattle panel trellises with raised bed boxes inside and plan to cover the trellis with plastic and use it as a greenhouse over the winter months.

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Oh that’s really smart and a great way to expand your growing area and season.

[@tammyohlsson7966]

I so love how you guys just do it! Not perfect is my style. WTG. Looks great. Blessings!

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Thank you so much! Haha!

[@atlantapreneur]

I am getting ready to build one of these for my vining garden plants. I have been looking at a ton of content on how to do this correctly. This is by far the best video and easiest to understand.

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Thank you so much! We try not to talk so much haha

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

We're going to be pulling together 40 get of tunnel. Should be a great addition to our garden!

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Wow! Sounds amazing

[@maryboyd4707]

If you actually measured it you could have made your job easier. Preparation pays off in the end.

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Thank you for your advice. 🌸

[@DeboeahHauser]

Use zip ties

[@Rosalyn-z6t]

Yes a lot cheaper!!!

[@tommysmith2409]

I have watched numerous cattle panel arched trellis videos and your approach is the simplest and most sensible. Figuring on using zip ties though. Thanks for the short, informative video.

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

You’re welcome! Hope you have an awesome growing season

[@industrialathlete6096]

Zip ties(plastic) ultimately FAIL. This has been my experience. Go back and use metal zip ties or wire!

[@tommysmith2409]

@@industrialathlete6096 No way. The zip ties are working fine.

[@RovingPunster]

QUESTION: what gauge are the panels, and do you have a source that takes online orders ?

[@servantofyah1377]

This was awesome. And seems simple enough. I thank you for this share

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

You’re very welcome !

[@GmamaGrowz]

I'm constantly building trellises, I like this idea 🤩 Thanks for sharing!

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Haha yes!! Us as well, I’ve had plants crawling up all sorts of things. These are pricier but such an investment

[@darincooper7602]

Great video! Thanks for posting it. We're planning a hoop trellis this year and this helps a lot!

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

I’m so glad! You will love growing plants on a trellis!

[@littlecreekfarm3974]

We will be doing something similar to this, watching yours come together makes me look forward to doing ours! Great video!

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

I am thankful it helped you out. You won’t regret putting it together and I pray that you have a great harvest from it!

[@Preemurli]

Thanks for the informative video . Where do you buy the cattle panel trellis? We live in San Antonio, Texas

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

We purchased ours at Tractor Supply

[@rikki-tikki-tavi2456]

Thanks for the video, You explain it real well. Which orientation worked best for you? North / South or East / West?

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

The South works best if I want sunshine on both sides. But the East West works great for one side being more partial shade crops and the other side getting full sun

[@payne1118ish]

Can you tell me how deep you put the posts in the ground? I’d appreciate it. Thanks

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Maybe a Foot

[@nagaseshureddy]

What color should the cattle panel trellises be? Also amazing job with the demo.

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Ours are silver

[@phildevaney498]

As a Jesus lover, I love the name of your site! I’m thinking of trying this this year. Do you plant on the inside or outside of the trellis?

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

I’ve actually done both ways :) I like the outside better so it’s easier to walk through

[@SeedFaithHomestead]

I want to do this over our 2 raised beds. Good to know about the tool! This is our first time to plant using a trellis. Will you plant under the trellis and let the plants run up and over, or will you also let plants on the outside run up the trellis?

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

We will plant vining crops like squash, indeterminate tomatoes, and long beans on the outside. Then we will will grow crops like lettuces, calendula, marigolds. And herbs on the inside of the trellis :) partial shade plants are better to grow on the inner sides

[@LeaC816]

That looks great! Your garden will be awesome this year between those and all that compost! Maybe the trellis will even tame the loofahs! 😁

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Haha! This trellis will actually be used for tomatoes and long beans. I may grow loofah on the other side of the yard :)

[@botherchriswinkler]

How tall did that end up being? I'm about to pull the trigger on this idea but just started to consider I might do better with a 16' and 8' ft panel, then link them so my arch is higher but im nervous about how hard it will be and whether it will still look nice. I want to grow dipper gourds and fill in with pole beans.

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

We love the bigger panels for gourds! 16ft panels will give you enough room to walk through comfortably even with the dipper gourds. Nathan is 6ft and can walk through the bent over 16ft panels even when there are vines everywhere.

[@botherchriswinkler]

That is exactly what I wanted to know, so thank you very much. You just saved me a bunch of money.

[@nokko-777]

What size of cattle panels you use?

[@LifewithBlindaandChuck]

I like the concept of a trellis like this. It puts everything where you can reach it without the back aching method of bending over.

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Yes, we definitely agree, we’ve had our children harvest for us, with this method. Very thankful for it doubling as A tunnel as well.

Finally got some time to stop over and check what you all are doing in your neck of the woods. I have considered for a few years doing this in my garden. Think you sold me on it. Have a blessed day.

You won’t regret it trust me. We have used it to grow so many different plants and have even more plan this year. We will definitely be using this method in other areas of our garden when we expand it.
