As I mentioned before, I'm going to try trellising watermelon plants this year. In my lean-to design, there will be two tall verticals opposed by two short ones. Each will be made of 2x4s. Diagonal pieces will be 2x2's. The remaining horizontal pieces will, tentatively, be made of nested pipe to allow for a modicum of flexibility in the design.
Today I cut the two tall vertical and two short vertical pieces. I also painted the short pieces. As I did with
the arbor, I wanted the bottom 1' to be sunk and next 1' above-ground to get some moisture protection. The two tall pieces will follow suit when I have time.
