        OK Me thinks some dimensions as specification details are in order, and does the upright go into the ground at all? I'm going to make some Gallows brackets to replace my bamboo effort that has lasted since 2012 but something or someone gas fallen through it

          Why not!...I'd run a bit of netting/ Wrapped around twine for them to latch onto maybe?

            The vertical posts are 2.4m lengths, 75mm x 75mm. 30cm of these posts are in the ground.

            The horizontal arms are 50mm X 75mm timbers. The upper arms are 53cm long and the lower 67cm long. They're fixed to the central post with three coach bolts each, with additional coach bolts fixing them to the neighbouring arms.

            In each of the top arms are 4 hooks, in each of the bottom arms are 4 eyes

              Or a climbing tall pea such as Serpette Guilloteau, although Telegraph/Telephon might be too vigorous

                    I've bought some pea and bean netting which I will run along the length of the 6ft fence. There'll be a 6 inch gap between the fence and then net as its the fence posts I'll secure the netting too rather than the panels. See how they get on growing up that

                    I'll get some photos once it's up.

                            One bit of advice if you do Jas............I found the frames a little bit large to be growing beans round so put strings in between. These will be used for the Beans...........I may grow something that can be tied to the frame but unsure of what just yet...........maybe someone could give me some ideas.

                              I was planning on having wire mesh along the roof for the beans to cling onto with strings coming down every 6 inches, 15cm or 1/3 cubit.

                              p.s. you could tie in walking stick kale to the frames and build your own cabbage house.
