Cattle Panel Trellis

I found myself at Tractor Supply after seeing some Pinterest ideas. There, I purchased a cattle panel which was on sale. At Lowes, I picked up 2 2x6 10ft boards and they kindly cut them 50" in length for a total of 4 boards. I had some 4x4 posts left over from my raised bed planter (I had a bigger idea at Lowes and had extra material)and cut the posts to about 2' for the ends of the planter with the excess being buried in the ground. You also need some fence fasteners. 

I assembled the planters and stained them with leftover stain. I then stapled some weed mat on the bottom as a barrier and dug the holes for one. Once placed level in the ground, the cattle panel was placed next to it and tacked in using the fasteners and a hammer. The location of the other planter was found by arching the cattle panel up and at a good height, marking the ground to dig for the other two post "legs." Tack, fill with dirt and you're done!

Now, I'm just waiting for some good weather to plant my beans which should climb up and over! My son already loves "his" tunnel! 

I'll update soon!
