is your vertical or at a slant for the cucumbers? i dont have cattle pannels but i am hoping to send them up onto the wire that is like 1"x2". It is just scrap but i don't see the point in buying a bunch of wire just for a small garden. the peas pretty much need a trellis right? Or can they stand by themselves? Sorry for all the questions, but I have a blueprint in my mind that I would love to put into action this year for my garden.
Mine are vertical and peas need a trellis if you want them to climb/grow upwards and keep less wet all the time...peas are light enough that some just string wires or twine for them to grow up. The wire you have should suffice but give it good support and make it high, depending on the type of cuke you grow, they can get pretty long vines and the cukes can be pretty heavy.
