In the post-Soviet space, more used to growing cucumbers on the ground. Fruits of cucumbers spread around the garden, curly and hide behind sheets from the sun.

Thus, growing on tapestries gives greater efficiency!

The simplest support (trailer) for climbing plants with their own hands can be made with the help of twine or a thin rope, both natural and plastic. This support is usually located against the wall of the house, arbor or barn. And you can make a support with wooden sticks.

For tapestry cultivation, constructions of durable twines stretched in 2-3 rows or placed in the form of a hut are used. Very popular plastic tapestry mesh to support plants with cells 15x17 cm, length from 5 to 10 m and a width of 2 m. The net is pulled on the arcs or attached to the wall of the greenhouse.

For arrangement, the tapestries are installed at a distance of 1.5-2 m from each other and stretch between them 2 or 3 rows of wire: the first row of 10-15 cm on the ground surface. The second row is 1-1.3 m, and the third row is 2.2 m.

The wire is attached to the metal or netting with cells measuring 10 by 15 cm, or a strong twine is tied to the upper level with a double sliding node. The second end of the twine grabs a seedling at a height of 10 cm above the ground. As it develops, the lash braids the string and rises up.

The support consists of reinforced metal pipes or corner and intermediate wooden columns 30 cm in diameter.
