Gardener’s Supply Company Extra Tall Garden Arch Arbor | 80 Inch Tall Titan Squash Tunnel | Lightweight Metal, Trellis Plant Stand for Climbing Vines | Outdoor Lawn Tower & Support Structure

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Gardener supply has quality items. I'm considering purchasing a fourth because the price has gone down substantially since the first one I bought. The first one shows no sign of wear after 4 or 5 years. All three have metal fence posts tied to the legs of the unit. In my climate I can't imagine not anchoring to the ground. Two have the original netting which work well for smaller crops. On the third unit I put metal fencing material over it. When I installed the first unit I was about a 70 year old woman with no assistance. The next two have been a breeze to set up.

I am so pleased with this purchase. I am new to gardening and have been gathering all of the items needed for a successful garden. This trellis arrived ahead of schedule and I was able to put it together by myself in just over an hour. My dirt arrives tomorrow and I will put the netting on after I fill my beds. I will update with another photo after I am done and another one this summer after my plants start growing. This trellis seems like it is extremely sturdy once put together. By the way, I am 65 years old and didn't have any issues putting this together by myself. For context my beds are 4 feet in length just to give you an idea of the size. I definitely recommend you purchase this if you are wanting a trellis.

It’s sturdy, and took us 2 hours to put it together!

It worked well for my Butternut Squash to grow, but I had to get additional stakes to hold it up, very weak and unstable. It came with all the parts it needed. It's very big and challenging to set up. It's good if you want something affordable but I would personally rather pay for something more expensive and higher quality.

It was a gift /Daughter was thrilled to add it to her garden

I bought this to help support my wisteria vines and did not use the netting. I am a 64 year old grandmother and was able to assemble this by myself. The clips were a little challenging, 1st to figure out how they work and, secondly, to actually install as it takes a decent amount of hand strength. I found that out that the easiest way to add the horizontal poles to the vertical sides and arch was to only put on one side of each clip of the 3 required per horizontal pole than once the pole was in place, close the second half of the clips. This allowed me to easily adjust if I miscalculated pole placement. Start at the arch and follow the instructions. The instructions for the short support poles were a bit confusing so I had to readjust the top row of horizontal poles by moving them down a bit so that the short poles abutt the bottom of the arch caps with the horizontal poles directly underneath. I have not yet secured it in the ground. Im not sure I can do this on my own. But, this is how the grandkids can help! And, I have ordered heavy duty flat bungee cords to possiblybsecure the unit to the existing arbor that supports my wisteria. Will this hold wisteria? Maybe not, but it would be lovely anywhere.

This is a great trellis for the price. It's lightweight and there are not a lot of steps involved. However, while you can assemble some pieces yourself, you will definitely need a second person to help you. Study how the clips go on the product before you start. It's not complicated, and once you understand what you're supposed to do, and you do it a couple of times, it will become easier. Take your time to ensure all of the cross beams are in the right place and match the other side. (This isn't just for aesthetics; it's part of the balance of the trellis.) The instructions say carefully unfold the netting. I would go further and say unfold the netting on a flat surface. This will help you understand how it needs to go on the trellis. You will need a step stool for this and while I did the netting alone, a second person wouldn't hurt. Now that it's assembled, I'm very happy with the trellis.

This was too flimsy and large.
