Could anyone suggest a simple and good ready to assemble runner bean
frame please. thanks

Depends where it's for.
If it's a nice protected back garden then you can simply make one from
8ft canes, mark two lines across the plot 3ft apart, push canes into the
soil as far as possible at 1ft spacing along both rows, then using
another cane horizontally along the middle of the rows tie each two canes
to the horizontal cane which should be underneath where they cross.
If it's an open allotment site then similar to the above but I use thin
wooden poles as horizontal poles and strong metal stakes (scaffold poles
banged into the soil as far as possible at 6ft intervals) holding that up
before I tie the canes to it. We have never had our beans blow down,
unlike most others.

Thanks to all. Bob, curious how you tie a horizontal wooden pole to a
vertical scaffold pole ?


Using garden wire through the holes drilled in the poles, you only have to
drill the holes once.
