Tomato Height - Page 3

This is the trellis I use for my tomatoes. It is made from electrical conduit. I tied the net myself before I learned how to do it properly. It works fine, but the newer one that is currently holding up snow peas is a much nicer net. This trellis is about ten feet high. The tomatoes eventually overgrew the top and started on their way back down.

Thank you Bugpicker for the link. That was just what I was looking for. MVNewf, glad to know the Florida weave can hold up in wind! Thank you!

Did you use electric conduit for the posts and top pole? What size poles?
