Anything you can stake in the ground securely that will support the trellis netting will work. You can purchase wood stakes or even use electrical conduit to build a simple frame. You can also use it with existing structures such as a wall or fence. There are many ideas for using garden netting in the ebook that you have access to after your purchase: 5 Creative Ways to Use Trellis Netting. I hope this helps.

I like the trellis netting, it does seem pretty sturdy, and have used mine to trellis peas. I just used old deck lumber and various pieces of wood I had around. Anything will work, you just need to be able to either staple or tie the netting to the posts in order to keep it tight.

Well, we just put ours up again this year on an 8'X10' deck we built for it. I will definitely need anchoring and yesterday I purchased some thin threaded rods that I am going to install between the decking boards and fasten the feet of the frame with washers and wing nuts. I don't really want to drill holes in my deck, so I am hoping this will work. Also, I put plastic shelving inside on both sides of the tent with my plants on them; this also helps to secure it from windy and stormy weather. I will need to put some kind of heat source inside, as well; not sure what though. I like the idea of the reptile heater and am going to look into that. Hope this helps.

First make sure that the canvas is large enough to fit over both dowels. Then remove the plastic semicircular tubes that fit over the dowels. Roll the canvas edge around the upper dowel and replace the plastic tube over the canvas and clamp onto the dowel. This will secure the canvas to the dowel. Then repeat with the bottom dowel. Hope this helps.

I haven't installed mine yet. But the spikes are about .12" long. I am nit going to attach the trellis to my house. It looks sturdy enough to lean against the house. It is a very substantial trellis. I think you will like it very much. Good luck

Just my opinion, I think maybe getting some garden edging would be better to collect the leaves, or there is flex border material, like the recycled decking, that you could wrap around ground stakes, that may be better suited. This is a great raised bed, I bought two of them, but I am going to use them for vegetable gardening and make mini-greenhouses out of them, maybe do both projects !! :)take care

If your asking about one of the wooden dowel pegs, then yes any hardware, hobby, or home improvment store sells them pretty cheap...just take a peice of your so they know what size to give you because they do come in different diameters. I hope this helps ...BillBill wallace answered on March 12, 2015

Sorry to say I don't recall whether the spikes are sufficient; I have it against a wooden fence, and it's fastened. But I can tell you I was impressed with the quality of the trellis. I think you might be able to get away with using just the spikes. Worst case maybe one screw with anchor at the top.

I have used it as a "wire alone" for some woody plants already established. it's strong yet pliable. for a trellis I'd suggest a larger gauge wire for the best results. or even go to your hardware store and getsome plastic rope / twine.

I used this fencing inside my wood fence to keep out rabbits. I did tie my tomatoes to it, and I think, as long as you have the trellis to attach it to, it should be strong enough.

I did not put the stakes in the ground so it would be taller and attached the trellis to the wall. The rails are not hollow. I bought four and it took forever to put the first one together but by the 4th, I had it! Good Luck.

Try any hardware store - Home Depot, Lowes, etc. They have dowels in all sizes. You will likely have to cut it to fit.

No. Try this search. I would use deer netting. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=deer+netting

Our coop is fenced it so we used a staple gun to secure the net to the posts and ziptied the rest of the areas to the fence. We had to cut or net because of the shape of our coop and then just zip tied the two halves together. We have a large coop with support beams running down the middle that the net lays over. We have never had any problems, get a lot of pine needles stuck in the netting, occasionally some sticks and pinecones and one time a big hawk got caught. Still no damage after a year and a half.

what you see in the picture is it. You have to force the two bottom stakes in the ground or if you build a stand I guess you could drill holes andl drop them in a wood board.

Hi, my trellis looks perfect..... like part of our house. I asked our garden assistant to put it together, but believe that the sides of the panel are grooved and slide together. I think that the hardware clips are needed for attaching panels to posts.
