Go to woodprix website if you'd like to know how to build it. Good solutions for everyone I think

I just use store-bought tomato cages for vertical planting due to its ease as I am not handy to build a wire cage but they are probably not as sturdy as yours. I really like the idea of lifting the growth off the ground to minimize fungus and pests problems. You gave a lot of great tips. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing! I realized this was uploaded 6 years ago but it's definitely still helping people today. I am growing my first summer squash ever and decided vertical was the best way. I didn't realize that pollination would be an issue! Thanks for the advice.

Really wish I would have come across this before I let mine take up 15 feet of my yard. Looking forward to this for next season.

Hi great idea! I have several butternut plant to plant so will try this method, but just wondering how many plant you plant in each cadge?
-
Since butternut squash are so heavy do they do OK on trellises/cages?

I love the idea of the use of your wire fencing. I am going to do that. It should also make it easier to look for squash eggs, larva and the adult bugs. FYI. The female part of the plant that you put the pollen on is the stigma which sits on top of the rounded pistil from which the fruit develops. I teach my student to use the "sticky stigma to help remember and the stamen is part of the male that has the pollen on top. Memory tool for that is stamen has “men” in it.

its good for only few or small farm,but if you have at least 500 heads of squash its very labor intensive.
