Match the crop
| Crop | Useful height | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Peas | 4–6 ft | Netting is enough if posts are solid |
| Cucumbers | 5–7 ft | Cattle panel or heavy net; see the cucumber guide |
| Indeterminate tomatoes | 6 ft+ of stake, twine, or panel | Flimsy tomato cages fail by July |
Structural checks
- Can you stake it into the ground outside the bed or brace it to the frame?
- Will the panel sit on the north side so it does not shade the whole bed?
- Can you reach fruit without stepping on soil?

Frequently asked questions
Can I lean a trellis on the raised bed boards?
Only if the frame is stout. Thin kit walls can rack. Independent posts next to the bed are safer in wind.
