I have to know how many plants are planted on that cattle panel? I would like to do one of those but need to know how big that is and the details of how you have it stuck in place? Thanks so much for the info!

Cattle Panel Arbor

* Set one edge of panel in the notched edge of a 4' wide raised bed frame (see Picture)
* drive two stakes appox 3' apart set edge of panel against the inside of stakes.
* mark about 8' from stakes or notched raised bed frame. make another notch or drive stakes.

Note ! I set one wider than 8' for a friend because she is 4'8" tall and I didn't want her climbing at 86 years old.

* the finished arbor is about 92"-96"(8'tall) in the center of arch.

* drive a couple longer stakes through the panel on both ends and tie (keeps from rocking too much).

* I have set them over my rows from one bed to the other and kept them covering the bed them self (pictures).

* I planted one seed by each wire of the cattle panel. Yes some of the spacing is closer than 6" toward the bottom of the panel but plant a seed there any way.

* setting the panels on a raised bed of course raises the center arch higher . Just drive a couple stakes and adjust to your picking height.
