4. Height of the trellis
Consider how high the finished trellis will be whether you are creating or even buying an A-frame or arched trellis. It shouldn't be so tall that you have to go out a step ladder to reach the fruit, nor should it be so low that you have to bend over to pick ripe cucumbers!
5. Plant
One advantage of vertical gardening is that, if you use a trellis, you may place cucumber plants a bit closer together than the suggested spacing. Trellised plants may be placed a bit closer than usual since they aren't fighting as hard for resources like light and ground surface area to spread their vines; however, keep in mind that they will still be fighting for water and nutrients from the soil. It is possible to place vegetation on both sides of the trellis!
6. Train vines
Plants may need some assistance to learn how to climb the trellis as they begin to develop. Once the vines reach a sufficient length, start carefully wrapping them around the trellis supports. To avoid harming the plant stems or limiting development, use plastic garden clips or attach the vines gently to the trellis.
