We were looking for some interesting climbing frames for beans and wanted something natural and of course cheap, or practically free so made up these bamboo ones. They were pretty easy to make really - just tied at the joints with - well, I have to admit a penny pinching idea here - cut up old T shirts ! These are best as they are stretchy and have more give and you can still get a firmer and tighter knot that will last and make them stronger. We put the cute trims around as we were trimming back the honeysuckle and it also gave the plants something extra to hang on to.
