Climbing, pole or runner beans are amazingly prolific crops and they are attractive too, providing vertical interest in the vegetable garden.
However, they need sturdy supports and, depending on your garden, you'll want to support them in very different ways.
In this video Ben shows 5 different ways of creating supports for climbing beans so you can pick the best system for maximum harvests.

To support my beans I like to tell them how proud of them I am, and how well they're doing. I tell them that I've always got their back no matter what happens.

Hi Ben... There was no end to green bean growth this year in our small Meridian ID backyard garden... somewhat the same size as shown in your bean support video. Just enough space for a couple of large tomato plants, several cukes, a couple of peppers, green onions and carrots, and of course the beans! With difficulties locating all the beans through its tall thickness, I had to search for a solution... and there you were! So impressed with the post and wire mesh cage system, and I knew right away that is what we needed, being able to walk through it to pick! Having just finished up removal of the tired plants, I am excited to soon install your system!! Thanks so much! :)

I scored a huge armload of 12-15' bamboo cut by a neighbor from their yard, I now have an enormous tee-pee (or wigwam) that's lasted 5 years so far, one that I use for my pie pumpkins - they grow much more round hanging and don't develop soft spots like can happen when they sit on wet ground. Ben is the happiest person on the internet - whenever I need some sunshine in my life there's always GroVeg to cheer me up.
