Tractor Supply has 5′ by 16′ horse panels with 2″ x 4″ openings for about $100.00 each. you can cut them in to 2 pieces of 5′ x 8′ and use some 2″ by 1/4″ strap to weld between the tops.

We’ll be adding shade covers for all of them, as well as a drip watering system. Aside from strawberries and seasonal herbs, would you please recommend vegetables that would do well in this type of vertical garden? Thanks very much!

These were made out of rebar by a local welder.

Where can I buy the small individual square trellises in image #3? I want to create an arch as well on my backyard wall.

I’ve used this string netting between poles many times. It is surprisingly strong. https://amzn.to/3dQD6bG

What do you recommend to use instead?

They are simple plumbing fittings on electrical conduit. They don’t fit perfectly on (or screw on) but they stay in place pretty well. I would take your conduit to the plumbing aisle and find one that slides on but is snug. Hope that helps.

What kind of plumbing fitting did you use to connect the joints? I’m having trouble finding something with the correct diameter.

I’m glad it’s helpful. The best part is you can use it where you need it and then store it away until it’s needed again. Stay healthy and best of luck.

I love the idea of the ladder mesh wire, I am on a hunt for it now. I am not going out due to Covid 19 but I will find it and a way to get it here.

Hi. Check with local welders or iron work companies to see if they offer similar screen type trellises. I’m sorry I don’t have directions for building the rebar trellises, they were welded together by a neighbor. Someone who welds may able to make them.
