Our goal is to add more growing capacity as well as enjoy the visual impact these will add. This year we decided to expand our garden and went with additional cattle panel arched trellises with raised beds at the bases. Both methods worked but the arch has a nice visual appeal to it and walking under the growing vegetables is a pleasant experience. We had a leftover section and decided to put one end in a raised bed and the other in a second raised bed creating a climbing arch between the two beds. They were simply placed vertically on their side and secured to t-posts giving a 50″ high climbing fence. Depending on the distance the two ends are anchored from each other, the arch height is typically 6-7 feet tall and allows two climbing trellises for vines or vegetables planted at the bases.Ī few years ago we were using cattle panels as climbing structures for our ground garden.
