Is it sturdy enough to support squash vines? I dont want to attach it vertically to a fence but at a 45'ish degree angle, (staked into dirt @ bottom &amp; tied to fence @ top) . Will center "give" from weight of vines/squash?

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.

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.

it depends on how far you pound them into the ground. They have to be in enough to support themselves but I would think you could get 7 to 9 inches out of them if need be. Not sure it they are what your looking for to contain daylilies or vines however.

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.

Yes, it can support grape vines horizontally. It can also be used as a horizontal support for tomato and pepper plants (instead of using stakes) and can also be mounted to the top of a pergola to create a hanging garden. Just make sure you create a frame for extra support.

?? Not quite sure how to answer you - how hard is the wind blowing? Once it is planted I am sure it will be stable enough to stand up under an average hard breeze/wind. I have had no problem with either of mine on a deck with no wind barriers/protection. I used a combination of light to medium clay soil and potting mix as well as the plants which might have added more weight than you intended.

It will need support as it does seem somewhat flimsy, but I believe it will do the job. I have my posts 9 ft apart. I'm not sure of the effectiveness yet, nothing is growing in my garden yet.

I do not think it would hold pumpkins or squash. They would be too heavy. This stuff also gets more flexible when wet. The first time it got rained on it became so slack it was useless. I had to continue tightening it to take up the slack that stretches when it gets wet. But at some point it would just break. I stopped using it. For heavier produce I recommend using a cattle panel fence. I got one and bent it over as an arch between two of my garden boxes. I let my squash climb it.

We bought this trellis last summer and love it, so you're not making a mistake with this purchase. It's well made, heavy and sturdy. We have our trellis leaning on our brick wall and it works perfectly for our climbing roses and clematis. The posts are very thick but using the grid portion might be OK, although I'm not sure how you would fasten it. I don't recall that hardware to do this was included though.

If the bamboo is spaced close together, it is strong enough, but pretty flimsy. We are using ours to grow vines up.

It depends upon the ground you are "screwing" it into. In hard Alabama red clay we,had to dig a hole and cement the thing into the ground. It is VERY STURDY but again it depends upon your soil.

I installed a 6-foot post for the latch side of a gate. It was not very sturdy. I bought two heavy L-brackets and attched the post to the house, near the top. It is really sturdy now, but otherwise it was not sturdy enough. The anchor seems heavy duty, but when you put in a six or eight foot post, the metal has too much give. Maybe something with bolts on all four sides would be better, don't know for sure.

Can't answer that question with out personally seeing your patio.... ask someone there if they think it will support the sunsail.. Also how strong are your winds??? Mine does come down in the winter due to strong winds in Las Vegas .. I'm afraid they will shred the sunsail.

I used small tomato cages with the legs bent or cut in half & a small bunge cord to secure. That worked just fine. The plastic side bracket looked weak, so went with the cage. Go with the corner poles.

I didnt Support it when I first got it and heavy wind it blew over but didnt break. After I mounted it to on one side and a bouganvillia grew up the other side its sturdy and secure. It's pretty thick so if your are mounting the bottom of the legs with or in concrete I would say yes no issue.Or if the fence thats in concete is being attached to the sides of th arbor.

Unless you live in a place with almost no windy days, I would not advise you to use this trellis without bracing it. I say that because I live in a place with many windy days. I have it placed against a chain link fence. and braced with plastic ties. I have a thick vine growing on the trellis which will eventually cover the entire thing. However, in the winter when the vine loses it's leaves, the entire trellis is exposed. The color is taupe, but on the lighter side.

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