Cattle Panel Trellis/Arch
Comments (13)LOL. Jeff, I was thinking about your comment that it looks flimsy and wondering how to explain that it really is NOT, when I remembered that about 16 years ago a friend and I hit a cow. It was a black cow on a country road in the middle of a very dark night. We saw it in the headlights as we came around a corner, we braked as hard as we could, and when we actually hit it we were going pretty slow, but it was a very very solid and upsetting "kerthunk". The hood of the car was ruined; the cow just got up and walked away. Cattle panels have to be able to stand up to cows better than our car did. Susan...See MoreArched trellis from cattle panels
Comments (19)Dirtbert, You're method of "rainbowing" them makes perfect sense. That's what I love about this forum...how friendly forum members share with each other for the betterment of all! It also makes me glad I posted the photo to get the thread going, even though it wasn't a perfectly beautiful example, all neat and tidy. I'm also glad to know I don't have to drive all the way to Dad's, unload his trailer, go get my load, return the trailer and reload Dad's equipment. This way is much easier. Zengeos, Think about the 52" running the LENGTH of the pickup. When you tuck each 52" end in along the length of the pickup it will automatically form the rainbow shape dirtbert is referring to, and will make your pickup resemble a covered wagon. Or maybe I'm mistaken about which way is best to position them. Maybe its a covered wagon turned 90 degrees?...See MorePrice of Cattle Panels
Comments (8)Cweathersby, thanks a lot. Now at least I have an idea of how much I will need to buy, and what the total cost will be. I just finished ripping off tons of old clematis growth from chicken wire supports, and believe me, it was NOT fun. The wire is flimsy and is now sporting many accidental cuts. I figure there's gotta be a better way:) Judith...See MoreIf I may show off my bean arch (in its first year).......
Comments (7)Annette, Can I interest you in a Lightning rod to put on top of your Cattle Panel Bean Trellis arch? If you do it right, the beans climb up the lightning rod and when lightning strikes, it cooks the beans. Saves all the trouble and expense of maintaining a cookstove with pans and other such frippery. Jut go out and pick your ready cooked beans from the arch. Of course, you can only do this if you have the Lighting Rod!!!! DarJones (:>)>>--...See Morebencjedi
