A couple weekends ago I scored some farmer's page wire fencing from my brother-in-law. This type of fencing is 4 ft tall and has large 5" squares. Perfect for cucumber cages.
I cut them into 45 to 50" lengths and made round cages. I placed them over the cucumbers and secured them to a stake. The plan is for the plants to climb the cage and not spread out over the garden. The benefits will include: a) space savings; b) increased air flow (reducing the change of disease); and c) keeping the cucumbers clean and off the ground.
