DIY Cucumber Trellis & Support Ideas

Cucumbers are relatively easy to grow, but they can take up quite a lot of space in your garden, but provide a trellis or support for your cucumbers and you can grow them vertically, yielding more cucumbers in less space.

In this article, we’ll explore twelve cucumber trellis ideas to help you grow more in your garden and discuss some of the 

options you can consider when making them yourself at home.

Why Trellis Cucumbers?

First of all, it is important to understand that you do not necessarily have to provide a trellis as support for cucumbers. You can simply allow them to trail as they will on the ground but by providing supports for your plants, and training them to 

grow more vertically, you can often achieve far better results.

When we talk about trellising cucumbers, we are of course talking about vining rather than bush types. Bush types will have a more compact habit of growth. And so of course, they will require less support than vining varieties.
