Is 2 x 4 inch fencing too small for a cucumber trellis?

10 years ago

I have a bunch of 2 x 4 inch wire fence and I'm wondering if that's too small to use as the lattice for a cucumber fence. I can't locate any small amount of the old kind which I think is 4 x 4.

It isn't ideal but you can make it work. I have one trellis made out of it and while they climb it fine picking can be difficult now and then because you can't get your hand through those holes.

I just cut out some random wires here and there to make some 4x4 holes to reach through for picking. If you have smaller hands you may not even need to do that.
