Vegetable Trellis
Support your climbing plants with this great-looking stepladder trellis made of natural Douglas fir. Unlike conventional plant stakes, it has a wide four-point stance to support heavy squash, cucumbers and melons. With pre-drilled holes, it's easy to assemble, practical and handsome, too. For stability we recommend anchoring the ladders with Extra-Tall Earth Staples, sold separately. Four times as stable as plant stakes. Folds flat for storage.
