trellis ideas for dukes

I am afraid to trellis the cukes... any ideas or pics? Once, I got an albino cucumber as it grew under and got zero sun and another time one grew in between and it had to be snapped to be eaten. They seem ok if left alone. This year, a few are latching onto the tomato ring. Is there a kind of trellis that works best (I like free stuff)?

I use a fencepost at each end of the cuke row, and stretch nylon baling twine between the posts. Twines about 6 inches apart vertically.
