Cattle panels are perfect for the long beans. They’re pretty much the only thing that will hold them up for the duration of the summer at my house. They take down all other fencing by August/Sept LOL.
I don’t hoop them, I use Tposts. I assemble it such that the bottom of the cattle panel is about 12-15” off the ground. Gives me extra space upside for them. Although I have to take a step stool with me to pick them later on.
Tell us how you’ll hoop it if you get a chance, I’ve wanted to do that but haven’t had ideas for a while.
Truth in advertising...
Hubby and I have lost a total combined 300+lbs since we started low carbing about 15 years ago. Neither of us are thin now but we’re not obese either. Just plain old overweight now.
We were the blobs in walmart. Although we had too much self respect to use the carts, we saved those for people with genuine medical needs.

To hoop, I just put some rebar stakes in the ground at about 4 feet apart, then just put the 50” sides between. Then I have a hoop which is tall enough to walk under.
I plant my vining veggies along the sides. Cucumbers grow straight, as do my cucuzza, which are like a tromboncino squash, w/o the large end.
I love cattle panels. I built a greenhouse out of two several years ago. Fun project.

Post Script on cattle panel hoops.I put a bungee cord across each end to make sure it gets used to it’s new shape.
