Thanks for the tips! I’m filing them away for later.

Unfortunately, with the trellis I’m working on, bends wouldn’t help much. I need a strong cage-style frame, but taller and wider than any of the ones I’ve found at the store, preferably in a block of 8, and strong enough to hold 100+ pounds of tomatoes and vines. The design I think would work best would require several 6-way, 5-way, and 4-way corner connectors. I found a place that sells all that but for more than I can afford. For now I’m still thinking that attaching caps to blocks of wood would still be the best alternative. It’ll look like a giant lego set, but it’ll work.

And hey, who doesn’t like legoes?
