Do be careful! That sounds like some very precise cutting is required. Good on y'all for re-purposing as much as you can. I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with! Swapping ideas is one of the best features of the homesteader crowd here.

This summer, the trellis I rigged up for my peas was a bit unstable and not tall enough, so I grabbed a branch and worked it in to the support system. This is also a good example of why I use the term Ragtag. Lol!
