How to Build a Functional Pea Trellis

We've tried other methods of trellising our peas and this one kept coming out on top. The trellis structure you see here is assembled in the exact same way as our standard 5 foot high trellis except with shorter 2.5 foot posts in this case.

Here’s the part list for one of the standard 20 foot long pea trellises shown in the video:

🛠 5 pieces of 1/2 inch rebar 3-4 feet long
🛠 5 fender washers
🛠 5 pieces of ½ inch EMT conduit 2.5 feet long
🛠 2 pieces of ½ inch EMT conduit 10 feet long
🛠 2 1 inch poly pipe elbows
🛠 3 1 inch poly pipe tees
🛠 4 self drilling hex screws
🛠 20 foot length of 5 foot wide 6 inch polypropylene netting
🛠 20 landscape fabric staples
🛠 A few tomato clips

Additional Notes:
-The rebar must slide through the middle of the washers, but the conduit must NOT slide through. The fender washers we use have an inner diameter of a 1/2 inch and an outer diameter of 2 inches. Here’s a link to an example: https://www.fastenal.com/product/details/33227
- I use these clips to tighten the netting by clamping parts of it to nearby posts along the trellis. Twine would work too, but the clips are a lot faster to attach and remove.
-I appreciate this conduit framework because it is easy to set up and take down and it doesn’t rot like the wood trellis structures I have used in the past. Our standard field trellis is 5 feet in height and will support taller crops like beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, snap peas, melons, and squash. The 6 inch netting shown here is best suited for peas and melons.
