However, if you're not a handyman, you may not want to build an A-frame style teepee trellis.

There will be ample areas for climbing vegetables. The trellis won't cause any damage to the fence and will be a practical, lightweight option for your garden.

Using a trellis for your vegetable garden will save space in your garden. To grow cucumbers and other crops, you could use a crisscross-trellis.

A trellis shouldn't be used if you don’t intend to grow tomatoes or peppers.
