A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Landscape trials and triumphs Supports for a nylon trellis?

So I have six cute and happy snow pod pea plants ready to start climbing and I just bought a pack of Burpee's nylon trellis material. I understand it's a good idea to have supports to hold the trellis up. How exactly does this work? What can I use? My original idea was to drape this over my fence, but in retrospect maybe not a good idea or in the long run look nice or stable.

Thanks,

I staple it to lengths of wooden posts: I take a 2 by 4 and rip it down the middle then put those in the ground and run the net like a 'badminton net' set up, with the base of the net closer to the ground.

... some of us splurge and buy 2x2's

You can't buy them here unless you special order them

I thought it was the same everywhere

Ah... this might sound like a weird question, but will the wood of the two by fours rot? And I assume your using heavy duty staples? but will they rust ?

Ohkay a little more weird sounded than normal.

Oh and are they any other alternatives to stapling them? I have wood left over from construction but I only have an office stapler.

Well, I coat all outside wood with outdoor wood stain(sometimes you can buy a gallon that had been mis-matched for $5 at your hardware store in the clearance bin )...sounds strange but it works.

I use a heavy duty staple gun.

You could nail it on, use tie straps, string...anything really.
