I was calling my trellis the 'Mother of all trellises" but that was being a little presumptuous. The cyclone fence around the garden was four feet tall and I thought that would be a little small for summer squash. My DW and I love the Butterbush squash and it vines about five or six feet so I wanted to increase the height of the existing fence to six feet high. John

WOW.......I love that trellis. I want one. That would be great for pole beans too. I'm not sure what butterbush squash is but it sound good. Do you have any pics?
I planted butternut squash last summer, that stuff is a climbing vine. It grew a 20 ft long vine. One plant took over my WHOLE garden and produced 21 nice size squash. I think the vine would probably climb up a 20 ft flag pole.
