What is a string trellis?
Release time:
Dec 28,2022
A string trellis is a piece of string hanging from a sturdy framework that’s designed to support lightweight or medium-weight plants such as tomato plants, cucumbers, or eggplants. You can grow climbing plants (peas, beans) up a string trellis as well, but traditionally, it’s used for training tomatoes and cucumbers vertically.

You can grow climbing plants (peas, beans) up a string trellis as well, but traditionally, it’s used for training tomatoes and cucumbers vertically.
You can get creative with the framework of a string trellis:
● use T posts or wood poles for the vertical part
● use wood beams, pipes, or airplane wire for the horizontal part
You can also get creative with A-frame structures and arched trellises – if you already have them and they’re tall enough, you can hang string from the top.
Whatever you decide to build, make sure your framework is sturdy and tall enough because indeterminate tomatoes can grow as high as 8 feet (2.5m) or more.
The string also needs to be strong enough to hold all those tomatoes, and you can choose from synthetic or natural twine. I’d recommend going with synthetic twine since natural twine can wear or stretch.
You need something resistant enough to endure scorching sun, wind, and storms, and thin enough to guide it around the tomato plant’s stem.
