We just finished a trellis for our squash/mellon garden this year and now wait for warm days.

Trellis? I can't see a trellis, but I can see a work of art!

Thank you all. The challenging part is to make the curved beams on the top. We considered using cedar or synthetic deck board but it's turned too hard for us to work with these materials. The outside curve is 16 feet long. Eventaully, we decided to to use four fiberglass landscape edging boards. They very easy to work with - just use roof nails to attach them to posts.
