I subscribed just because of how he got the cattle panels home. I like this guy's style. 🤣

Luke I am laughing my butt off at this! I rented a Uhaul - I also bought 25 of these panels. Massive garden going in this year! Some seeds are from your store! Thanks for your videos.

I am a woman and I set up 10 of these by myself...with 4 of them side by side as a grape arbor. You really only need one secure T-post centered on each side. I live on the heartland prairie where the wind blows stakes over like toothpicks, and these trellises ain't goin' nowhere. They are also wonderful for indeterminate tomatoes. Good job!

Tractor supply will discount the ones that are damaged. I was able to get some for 10.00 each🤗

I have seen many videos about the setting up of the trellis, but you are the only one showing how the average person can transport these home. For me the getting it home part had been a prohibitive factor, until this video. Seeing it draped over your car was a true inspiration.

"...people laughed and snickered and looked at me funny, but we got it here and that's all that matters" - I like you. :)

That’s awesome! Ever since I saw this in Roots & Refuge’s garden I’ve wanted to try it. Thanks for making another great tutorial.

I put mine in this year after watching Jess and miah! My husband thought I had lost my mind but now it’s beautiful!!! We have a truck and so we bent the panel in the trellis shape and walked back into the bed of the truck - for those that have trucks.

Today, these cost TWICE AS MUCH at $50 per trellis. 😞 Gardening is getting expensive, but I'm an addict!

I use 2 in my garden and LOVE them. I grow my cucumbers, winter squash, tomatoes, green beans, mini cantaloupe and mini watermelon! They are a way to maximize my limited garden space!

Saw a genius idea in some comments on another video. Use an extendable aluminum ladder on top of your roof to keep the cattle panel from flopping around and from potentially scratching the vehicle. Worked like a charm.

Tractor Supply, Atwoods, and other retailers include 5 metal clips with each T-post purchased. The associates often forget to include them, so be sure to ask about them. They also go on sale several times a year!

I'm hoping to buy my supplies at Tractor Supply this weekend! I had been looking at trellises and couldn't find anything under $300. This video is a Godsend! It's going to cost me $28.99 to make one. What a huge savings for such a sturdy & awesome trellis. I'm going to buy two. Thank you. 😊🌼

Just did this for our grapes today. Bought the fencing at tractor supply and the price was the same as in your video. They worked perfectly! The wife is very happy with all of my "hard" work.😂

Thank you 😁 I just aggravated hubby by asking for 3 cattle panels and 12 t posts lol for my beans, squash, and cucumbers lol

Very simple project. I liked it . Just a note on safety. I would advise people to wear gloves and closed toed shoes. Have worked in construction for 40 years and I've seen many cuts and scrapes that proper shoes and gloves could have prevented.

Took bolt cutters to tractor supply, cut the panel into 3 pieces, then brought them home and rolled them for the sturdiest tomato cages ever. Love these panels, and love this channel!!! Thanks always!

I LOVE THIS! So simple and so lovely. I can't wait to make one next year. Maybe a couple of them, I can't decide what to plant on it. Thank you so much for this.

I made a few of these a couple of years ago. I love them. They are worth every penny. This year I made 8 feet tall tomato cages with them. The cattle panel are awesome for gardening.

You made that look so simple. Thank You! I will be setting mine up for next growing season.

Awesome. I've been putting off doing this. Now you've made it look so easy I have no excuse. Thank you for the information and motivation Luke! Happy Sunday!

I put up 4 cattle panel trellises two years ago and absolutely love them. It was so easy that I could do it all on my own. Secured them to the T-posts with both plastic zip-ties and some wire at the top of each post. Indeterminate tomatoes, cukes, peas, pole beans all have done very well on them. They definitely will last forever as they don't rust. Three of the units are in a side yard that is visible from the road. Many neighbours have commented very favourably as they are very attractive. The fruits/veggies are very easy to pick. Here in Canada they do cost quite a bit more though... but are still well worth the price.

Thank you so much for this video! I think it is one of the best how to videos I have seen. I especially appreciate you showing how you transported and carried that gosh darn panel!

Have you released an update video showing how the growth turned out? Thank you for sharing, about to build my own cattle panel trellis!

We got one this weekend and replaced our PVC home-made one. SO excited! So much stronger and easy to put up!

I appreciate you sharing the labor involved building this trellis. From getting the panel home, to carrying it in the garden to bending it in place. Thank you.

Fantastic!!!👍👍 Thank you for covering the process!!! Cool beans! Will be doing this on my next pay day .

You answered very question I have about creating a trellis - transportation, orientation! Thank you!

I have four of them and you're gonna love it! 💗 Beautiful and saves so much space! Win win! 💗

Thank you so much for showing us this idea!!! Omg you’ve got me pumped for next years garden!!!!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! We have been looking for a way to do something like this with our grape plants and this looks like it will work perfectly.

Luke...Thanks. It looks so easy. Like you I have wanted some vertical growing.space, and I am building one today! Great video!

I have been loving my cattle panels this year. I'm trying melons for the first time and they are doing so well on the cattle panels. I've got my tomatoes on straight 8 foot cattle panels as well. Looking forward to seeing yours in action!

Awesome!!!!!! I have been wanting this but didn’t know how to get it home 🏡!! Love this!! Thanks for sharing that part too!

This is very cool and I can see it can be multi-purposed. It could be painted too if using in a flower garden to make it look more fancy. Once covered, it'll be gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for Shari g your build experience of a cattle panel arbor. Those panels are so versatile and can do so much with them. Had to chuckle at your method of transportation of them. Haha. Great job!!👍👍

Motivational video! This is my exact garden plan for this Fall to have it ready for the Spring next year. Thanks for yet another great video. 👍🏼

Crazy how much prices have gone up. I’m doing this and the same cattle panels are now $29.99 each at tractor supply. Still much cheaper than other alternatives!

That's awesome, we are planning on doing a bunch of these soon to. Building supplies work great in the garden, we also use 10 foot rebar for our tomato stakes and they've worked great for years.

What a fantastic idea! Thank you for all your videos, they get me through the winter here in New Zealand.

This was a great idea. I love when you work (show and tell) in front of the camera. The message is stronger that way. . . and yes, I am a teacher and parent who finds this the key way to send a message.

I also love this look. Getting it home is what is holding me back from doing it.

Thank you! I'm building an arch for the entrance to my orchard and I was wondering how I was going to secure the cattle panel! 🙌😃

This is a riot, I’m a fellow West MI Gardner and I literally just did this about 3 weeks ago! Tractor supply, all of it! It’s awesome and so glad you did a video on it!

I've been wanting to do this for a while. Can't wait to finally get it done. Thanks for the video

I put up 2 panel arbors for my pole beans this season and I just love them. So much nicer to pick beans in the shade of the tunnel!

Thanks Luke for the video, I was wondering how in the heck I was going to get the cattle pannel home, you solved my delemma how it's done! I have wanted to do this too for some time. Great video!

Luke! Awesome project! I'm definitely going to do this! Thanks. Take care, my friend.

Exactly what I have in mind for my vegetable garden this year! Thanks for an informative and entertaining video as always Luke!

These work great & last forever! I have 3 of these set up in my raised garden. Two of them I've had for over 20 years. Left overs from our horse corral. I plant pole beans, cucumbers, cantaloupe & small pumpkins on mine. For tomatoes, I set them up straight like a fence and tie/wind my vines through them.

Went to price this out yesterday and each panel is now 35.99 and t posts vary 4 to 7 dollars each. Fun times we are living in out here in 2023.

My hubby constructed one for me In The spring for my Luffa garden. I love it and it is sturdy!

So cool to see you adding these to your garden! We have been using them for 2 years now and they really changed our small city lot growing space. So much more can be done when growing vertical as much as possible. I use a different method and have 8 ft panels zip tied at the top. I plan on cutting them come fall and bending the panels over the beds to use as a low tunnel for fall. Good stuff Luke!

7 mins 50 secs in and i am onto a new project! Thanks mate love it

This seems to be the year of the cattle panel. Can't wait to see the beans. And yes, now I want one in my garden!

For Aussies out there, they’re called “reo mesh”. Cattle panels for us are non-flexible cattle gates.

great tip, north to south. didn't even think about it until you said it. Gonna go get some panels this week

You should be able to place heavy duty plastic over it and use it like a hoop house for winter and early spring sowing.

I'm asking for this as a Mother's Day gift! Two of them! 😃

love it.we put in one on each end of 2 of our hip height raised (20') beds with a potato box on each end..will post pictures in a bit, have pumpkins growing up the front panel and cucumbers and squash up the back

My mom's wooden arbor bit the wind in the last hurricane. So glad I found your video. I'm going to purchase the items at Lowe's and put it up to surprise her. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing!❤️ I will go get those for my garden!

Thank you for this video! You inspired me to put mine up all by myself! (A 5'4 woman!) :) Had help getting them to my house, but by following your instructions, I now have two arbors put up. Just need to decide where to put the third. Really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your talents and skills with the world!

I’ve been thinking about doing this w/2 panels joined in the middle of the arch to support a giant bougainvillea planted by our front door right on the walkway. It’s way too big for where it’s planted & has nothing to climb or support it. So it’s always leaning forward blocking our front door. It’s a gorgeous shrub, but it’s gigantic & dangerous w/the thorns. I thought I’d try to arbor it like this before spending the money on cutting it down & removing the stump. You helped me visualize better what I pictured in my mind. It’s also helpful to see the panel & realize the size, thickness, etc. Your timing was spot on as usual! Thanks again!

Hi Luke, Great video, only change I made with my arch was took the ends into the box about a foot to allow sowing seeds on the inside of the arch for easy access. Great project, absolutely love your channel and cannot wait for next years garden so I can grow my Migardener heirloom tomatoes I purchased this year. Keep up the great work. Peace

Looks great Luke! I did the same. Unfortunately Tractor supply is not near me here on Long Isalnd, but my local fee store was happy to order it and since I ordered about 15 panels, they delivered it for about $25. they are amazing!!!

You have such an amazing garden. I love it ❤️

This Fourth of July might be an arbor project for us using your tips for cattle panel since the soil has been soaked with the daily rain. Thank you for the step by step guide video! 🤗 Stay Safe!

Definitely put in posts or some kind of support! If you don’t, the very first high wind will possible bend it out of the arch shape or even to the point of collapsing. I learned from another persons mistake. I use hose clamps to affix mine to the posts. Makes it easier to disassemble since I’m in a community garden and may move plots at some point.

I am going to put in two of these next spring. Guaranteed. I had previously used cattle panels to make “hoop coops” as quick housing for chickens.

Tip: you can bend your panel before transporting in the arch you want and secure with tie straps, bungee cords, etc. then when you are ready to install it will be more cooperative.

I'm an old lady gardener....where are your loves young man? Oh, thanks for the clear instructions....I'm doing this this summer,,for pole beans including asparagus beans,yeah! You're my man.... You just answered a question I have been trying to find an answer for, which way to turn it? North/South make perfect sense. Ive watched at least 15 tutorials on building one of these....NOBODY in any of them told us which way to set it up. Thx so much

Awesome!!! Can’t wait to set up my New Mexico garden next year when we move from Alaska

Sweeeeeet! That is going to look great in your garden Luke. Excellent addition 😁.

This is awesome! Just what I wanted to know, thank you so much as always you are so helpful!

Wonderful video! I'm ready to try it out. Thanks so much MIgardener!!!

That is an awesome idea. I already have cattle panels and t-posts. I’m gonna try it for something.

I put mine over top my 4x8 raised beds in an A frame configuration. It's a great support trellis for my heavy 7 ft San Marzano and Rousselini plants. It also is a great way to put a plastic tarp over the plants to protect them from heavy prolonged rain and wind. Best system I've ever used. BTW, I got my seed from you and the plants are amazing. The Rousselini plants are massive with thick strong main stems. It's now August and any signs of blight or spot was eliminated at first sight. My plants are amazing and very very healthy. Yields will be phenomenal.

Thank you for the idea on how to get the panels home! I was at my local farm supply and going crazy trying to figure out how to get 16 feet of 16 gauge fencing home! With my little SUV. I dont have a roof rack so we decided to use blankets and rug padding to help prevent sliding, as well as weaving strapping through the fence and latching the straps inside of the car. Thanks from a Minnesota gardener, I appreciate the time you take to share info with all of us.

Thank you, I plan on doing at least one of these this year.

This is an awesome tutorial. Will make one of these next year for sure.

Love it! gonna make my husband built this for my garden!

I recently saw a KZfaq video of a lady who first zip tied a 2X4X12 to each luggage rack on the top of her minivan and then zip tied the cattle fencing to the 2x4x12s. The 2x4x12s kept the cattle panels from sagging over her vehicle and prevented any possible scratches.

Good job my friend..didn't think it was a one man job. You amaze as always

I made an arbor like this. An Amish farmer taught me...easy peasy. Good job. I used cable ties to secure it, and those worked very well. Yep, mine was for pole beans too. : )

I can't wait to get cattle panels. Tractor supply didn't have any yet but is getting a semi next week. I will be growing cuca melons on one and birdhouse gourds on the other. Luved it!

Luke great cattle panel arbor trellis. I would have loved to see the look on your face while you were driving with those 16 foot cattle panels on your roof. I bet you that was priceless.

I hope we'll get a chance to see the fruit of your labours on this project!

That’s so epically easy!!! Thank you for your instructions and funny video!

I love The idea. I have a suggestion for tiring the panel to the T-post. You can buy metal clips designed for wire and metal fencing and do not forget the wire fence pliers.

I made a couple of cattle panel trellises this year, too. The hardest part was getting them home through the Chicago suburbs on top of the minivan. I used 2 16' 2x4's to extend the roof rack over the hood, and prevent the back end from dragging on the ground. With the 2x4's it was very stable and had no issues at all. Highly recommend using them!

I finally found a detailed tutorial for what I want. THANK YOU.

Thank you! God bless! 🙏 Good job done. 😎

Excellent job!!! And simple!!

Sometimes you gotta take chances to get something good. Well done, I'll definitely be doing that. I saw the same on other channels like Doug and Stacey

Good morning MIgardener from New Hampshire! First time viewing your channel. Yes, Roots & Refuge did a stellar job with their cattle panels. We raise cattle, but no cattle panels. Those panels are on my list for an abor. If you can't procure a small pick up truck, what about a trailer? Handy for an avid gardener. We are farmers, so our only car has been stored in the tractor garage for about a dozen years! Great to see your yard full of raised beds! I will follow your channel with interest, as I am installing a raised bed garden next to our house in the woods. All the best!

Really cool! Wish I had a place to set one up. Always need new projects for next year.

I love it! Thanks. I was having a hard time visualizing it. It is a DYI for me. High five.

Pretty sweet. Thanks for sharing.

We put three together with 7 ft. T posts. I put it 16" from ground so plants have to grow to it. It looks great in my garden.. I planted my seedlings on outside of trellis. Cukes, cherry tomatoes, watermelon and asparagus beans on one side. Cukes, pear tomatoes, watermelons, and snap peas on other side. It is quite tall. I spent aprox. $21 each for panels and $5 per posts(10). Very sturdy. It will last forever. I will build another trellis next year. Vertical gardening is my goal this year for the ease of growing my plants.
