A look at several common support styles used for vegetable crops.
Individual stakes are placed beside plants and stems are secured to the stake as the plant grows. Stakes provide a simple way to support upright plants while keeping growth organized and fruit off the ground.
Cages surround the plant and provide support as stems grow outward and upward. They are commonly used for tomatoes and other plants that benefit from support without requiring extensive tying or training.
Wire fencing, netting, or mesh can be installed vertically to provide a broad climbing surface. This style works well for vining crops and can support multiple plants along the same row.
A-frame and V-shaped trellises create two angled growing surfaces. This provides climbing plants with substantial support while helping spread plant growth and improve accessibility.
Several poles or stakes are joined together at the top to create a freestanding structure. Vining plants can climb each support, making this a practical option where permanent trellising is not available.
Arbors and arches allow vigorous vines to grow vertically and then across an overhead support. This can make efficient use of garden space while keeping vines and fruit elevated.
The best trellis depends on the crop, available space, plant vigor, harvest method, and materials available. Regardless of the design, the goal is to provide adequate support while maintaining good airflow and convenient access to the crop.
