Runner Bean Frame.
"Bob Hobden" wrote in message ... "T Bentley" wrote ... 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. -- Regards. Bob Hobden.

Bob, curious how you tie a horizontal wooden pole to a vertical scaffold pole ? |
