Climb this ? It is a piece of cement re-enforcement wire and it's four foot tall.

Horry up and let me know before my chickens run off with it to build something again. They're allways stealin supplies from me to make home improvements on thier coops

im no expert but I think with a stake or 2 to secure it they should climb with help. Maybe even unrolled as a flat pannel?

I'd use it.

I've had cucumbers grow up everything. We plant them in between rows of corn which works out great! I would unroll it and use it like a fence.

I like to use them flat, too.

Good luck! :happy_flower

How is it that you do that?

Yeah, what's rainbow mean?

You could assist them in getting the idea of climbing by using a bit of that Velcro tape that they make for gardeners, or twine, or whatever. I started off my hothouse cukes that way.

Thanx for the tip bills. So far it seams that the tenticle are ignorin that old rusty wire lol
I was comaprin the climbers on the cuc vs. the climbers on a pea plant and i'm thinkin maybe the cuc needs somethin a bit thicker to grab hold of (?)
I'm gonna try makin another cage out o' sticks and twine fer one o' my other cuc plants,. I'm also gona try a suggestion my freind gave me, set a tomatoe cage upside down over the cuc plant.

Do ya set 'em right over the young cuc plant and let it grow up thru the arch ? Or another way ?
