I have been wanting to build a new pea trellis for weeks, but it has fallen down on the list of important things to do around here. The last few years we have built a bamboo teepee and hung netting around it. Last year we tried this wonderful jute netting, which the squirrels quickly chewed through, thus making a mess of my dear pea plants. This year, I had a slightly different idea - an A frame of bamboo with twine providing the vertical support. Tom helped out with the binding (he is the knot man!). No squirrelly problems thus far, and it gives me such joy to look at the kitchen window and see the trellis, with the peas trying to reach up and grow.
