I grew a squash called "Little Green Gem" last year up an arch (2 plants), the squash themselves are only cricket ball size and very tasty, the others I've grown over my arch in the past are " Onion squash" ( these need support on the fruit), also one called "Munchkin" there tennis ball size flattish yellow squash, but I'd say any that trail and the squash when grown aren't too big will be OK over some trellis, but you'll have to tie them in.
What kind have you got????

I'm trying "Turks Turban" and "Baby Bear" trained along a trellis this year. As they are only supposed to be small squash , they shouldn't need any fruit support. I'm sure I saw an old episode of Gardeners World where they trained full-sized Halloween Pumpkins over a pergola, but they had to net the fruit for support.When the Devil gives you Cowpats - make Satanic Compost!
