Will this trellis hold squash or melon?

Probably, you will need to make sure to use the metal ground stakes to secure and put against a fence. But it is very difficult to put together, I had to take a utility knife and cut some of the slot openings bigger to fit the slates through.

No ,the cross bars are too wide and if the trellis is mounted in the ground it may not be study enough.It took some time to assemble ,but wasn't too bad.

it may best to use skinny squash and not too thick this may be easier for you to rotate

Yes but you will need a way to secure the posts on the bottom. Maybe in small planters or by brick

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

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.

Maybe if you just put seed or suet, but seed weighs a lot. hope this helps. rpy

It looks strong enough to hold a medium plant at least, but I only have a birdfeeder on it.

It is 6'. I am using one to put Raspberry plants in so they don't spread all over the place. I got 3 and will put squash in one,. The other is up for who knows what.

I would say yes as long as it will hang. I have 2 plants in my topsy turvey. I like them when they are fuller. My plants are probable 2 feet tall now and I have a great area to hang them so they do real well.

No. And you should take out the marigolds. The tomatoes and peppers should do fine but since the tomatoes have deeper root systems than the box allows they will spread across the bottom requiring a larger area than when in the ground. If you want to plant squash make sure that it is a bush variety and I wouldn't try to plant any more than 2 alone in the planter and make sure that you leave lots of room for the box to get light. I've been using these for years with great results. Also, see global buckets.org for a DIY auto-watering system that works great with these planters.

I am thinking possibly 1 1/2 qt. I know they will hold at least 2 regular size cans of veggies each.

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. :)

yes. It has to be "at least 24 inches". Just be aware, her main concern is it turns into a huge vine (thick) and needs an anchor, some stability. happy gardening!

I've used a large zucchini in the opening and it was fine. The unit is really well made and sturdy. I'd say it can accomodate a veggie as large as two to three inches around.

I would imagine it should be OK as long as there is some angle tipping the trellis towards the house. I seem to remember the spikes being fairly supportive, but once the weight of vegetation increases you'll need some way to ensure the trellis doesn't tip. Once its covered, you'll probably not notice any difference.

Yes the trellis has stakes on the outside edge of the trellis one on each side that are ample enough to hold it and any climbing rose bush or vine.
