robinia-pro SUPPORT for cucumbers

This is a lovely and practical cucumber trellis that will bring you much joy. Cucumbers are very climbing in their wild form and feel most comfortable at height. If you are growing a climbing cucumber variety, this cucumber trellis is just right for you.

The advantage of this cucumber trellis lies first and foremost in the robinia wood from which its poles are made. It is by far the most durable and strongest native wood - see Properties of Robinia Wood. It lasts many years without chemical treatment. It is only treated with pure linseed oil, which further increases its longevity.

The cucumber trellis consists of robinia wood poles that are driven into the ground at a distance of 40 to 60 cm, and elastic hollow cord that is threaded horizontally through the poles in 8 to 10 heights (depending on the trellis height), with a spacing of 16 cm each. The poles have holes for the hollow cord spaced 8 cm apart. You pull the top cord through the top hole.

The specified trellis height and trellis width are approximate values. The trellis height depends on how deep you drive the poles into the ground, and the trellis width depends on the distance you choose between the poles. Here is our calculation for that (measurements in cm):

The poles can be easily driven in with their tips, and the tips retain their shape because robinia wood is so hard.

The length of the included hollow cord – color green, Ø 3 mm – is at least 2.5 times the length of the poles, multiplied by the number of poles included in the delivery; this is ample.

You can tie the cucumber shoots to both the poles and the hollow cord.

The cucumber trellis harmonizes exceptionally well. Wood simply goes best with plants. And, the slim octagonal profile of the poles has style.
