I think so,,,,light squash like summer or zucchini. I use mine as a portable doggie gate.

We bought only for decoration but I think it is sturdy enough to withhold the weight as you describe it. I hope that helps.

its too lightweight for that..only flowers very lite weight nails in it//mine broke in two spots and not easy to fix..bamboo. I would use metal screen affixed(stapled) to a couple of treated wood posts.

I would think so; however, I have never grown squash. I use mine to control blackberry bushes and I have it spread out with some additional supports at either end. Do not know if this will help you or not.

Come with stakes but they are not real sturdy. One of mine bent but I was able to get it to work. Guess you could probably find some different stakes for it at the hardware if you want to. I read that somebody had done that.i

Hi Clive,I apologize for missing your message for a year.I apologize for missing your message for almost a year. I used some large orange tent stakes from Lowe's to anchor it. I also used a sharpie to mark where the pipes for the frame fit together to help put it together from year to year. I hope you are enjoying your garden.Pete

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

The raised garden has at least two screws on each corner which gives it a lot of support. Hope this helps.

I would guess so. This would only support the center, it the rose is really leggy, they will hang. I think this would would be good for a tall rose plant, but perhaps not a climbing rose bush where you generally tie up the peripheral branches to a trellis. I don't know though, it is sturdy enough for whatever you want to try, if you know how your plant will grow. It would look very elegant with a rose. Sorry for the non-committal response, lol. I hope I was somewhat helpful. :)

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 have used ours to grow pole beans. It depends how big your vines are. It would not be suitable for climbing on, but is pretty robust.

I wouldn't trust it for anything except light ornamental or woody vines you can ruthlessly cut back throughout the growing season, which won't work for anything you want to harvest. It's a nice product but all pieces are just hollow PVC and most of the cross pieces just slide into place, unsecured except for friction. My opinion is light and ornamental use only but obviously others have had a different experience.

Yes, as long as you anchor it well--i.e., I purchased at my local lumber/garden center some pointed fence posts about 42" tall, one for each corner of the trellis. I positioned it and drove the posts into the ground a little over one foot and secured the trellis tightly to it with heavy duty zip ties. From one Gramma to another, this was great!

If you have sandy loose soil, it will stay standing up, but it will probably start to lean. In clay soil it might do better. The anchors are made of the same material as the trellis and they fit inside the trellis legs.

I use it quite successfully for my clematis. Clematis wraps very small diameter (arms? vines? feelers? what the heck do you call those things??) in order to cling. The trellis I selected for my clematis had cross pieces that were far too large for the vine to cling to. Once I added the trellis netting, she is growing beautifully!

I really liked the quality of this one. I have had it outside for a year and a half and it is holding up very well. It is thick, sturdy and does a great job holding my vines. I cannot answer for the other one you saw but this quality is excellent.

I supported it with rebar (outer) and 8ft bamboo stakes (inner). I used it to support my climbing cucumbers, bush beans, and tomato plants.

It will attatch. The center support beam is very thin, so you will definitely need to reinforce it. I did so with some wood fencing tops. It works for me. Hope this helps!

Mine went on a deck , so I used some screws to secure it, but I also used some large potted plants on the four corner shelves and that really helped too. I am sure if you did this and then put something on the bottom of the four corner areas that you could put some heavy potted plants on.... you would be all set. Hope this helps
