I want this to support tomato plants. Is it strong enough to support a vine heavy with tomatoes?

Yes it will support your tomato plants. It's very sturdy. I have clematis vines growing on mine, but the metal is thick and strong and should be no problem with your tomatoes.

I don't know. I think it is great with tomatoes. The quality is great. I would think it would work just fine.

Yes, and attractive too. I have tomatoes growing in it this year, but it would work well for flowering vines as well.

I have a heavy planter and no problems. I have 3 of these, very strong, good wheels,. Will get some more this spring.

I think that would work as long as the plant that your growing is not real heave (I.E. tomatoes).

This will hold a lot of weight. I have four self-watering flower pots on one of these and it doesn't flex at all. Regular poles wouldn't hold even one of these pots. So there will be no problem with a capacity feeder.

I don't think it would be heavy enough. I like mine a lot but use it after I have roughly turned over my vegetable beds to break the clay soil.

Sturart, Per your inquiry: This will easily support normal wgted hanging plants. It is very sturdy; I would just be sure to secure it with long enough screws attached to strong enough wood. Enjoy.

My poles are in the ground. I have my tomato and cucumbers on this trellis net and all is holding up very well. I know nothing about blackberry vines.

I just received my vertical garden, so I have done any planting yet. I bought mine for strawberries. I would say some veggies would be fine, smaller compact, lightweight veggies. The tomatoes would be too heavy for it. It should be supported in some way with either the base that is made for it or mounted to something stable.

I believe so, but the pole itself can be a little wobbly. I have a tension pole specifically for plants & would suggest that instead.

Mine leans against the wall. I think that the vine is now securing it. However you could use cement nails in the concrete wall to secure it.

We used a 14" open ring type support, very similar to what a florist uses but much more sturdy. They are available at lawn and garden centers.The majority of our tomatoes were of the cherry or pear varities.

I am using it for plants. The stand is very sturdy. I am going to get another one.

I wouldn't stand on it :) But it is steady and supports dinnerware, wine bottles, stuff like that. We used it all last summer and loved it!

Yes. It's actually pretty sturdy for the price. Not as sturdy as solid wrought iron, but I grew runner beans, morning glories, and clematis up this trellis last year and they did fine. I would think it could handle one grape vine on each side as long as you pruned them each year.

I'm using it for honeysuckle , so would probably be sturdy enough for a ' medium ' load . Make sure to anchor it securely .
