Measure placement of the T posts and then pound them in with a post pounder at least a foot below ground level (not including soil in the raised beds). Note: I didn’t include the beds in the total cost of the garden arch.
#Garden arch trellis how to#
If you want to put them straight in the ground with raised beds, there are many other tutorials that will provide better info on how to do that probably with heavier duty T posts. I’m not sure that our method of arch installation would work as well without the support of the raised beds.We had a bunch of zip ties on hand, but I think you can get a bunch for around $5 or use some galvanized wire.You only need it for less than an hour, and it can run you $25+, so it’s worth asking around to save money. Most farms stores will carry them for about the same price. Our cattle panel was about $25 from Coastal which is chain farm store in the Pacific Northwest.They called the medium duty T posts, U posts.
I got most of our T posts from Home Depot but they didn’t have quite enough for both of our trellises – we built two – so I went to a local farm store.1 – 16 foot long by 50 inch wide galvanized steel cattle panel, we got a 5 gauge panel, about $25.4 – four foot tall, medium duty T posts (may also be called U posts), about $4 each.My favorite part of this type of cattle panel arch is that it costs around $40 for each arch! So, you can get a lot of wow factor in your garden (once it fills up with plants) for just a small investment. Arched Trellis? You can probably see now why my title reads like a list of descriptions. Scroll down to step 4 to see what we planted.īut first, let’s talk trellis…arch. We put in a bunch of raised beds this year and I thought it would be fun to add some trellises to some of them for our climbing vegetables. In fact, it was post after post of these cattle panel garden arches that kept popping up in my Pinterest feed that made me finally build my own! So, I’m adding our own into the mix.
