My $15 trellis from Home Depot outgrew my fancy custom one in 6 weeks
I was totally skeptical of those cheap bamboo trellises, like the ones that come in a bundle at Home Depot for $15. But I put one up for my sugar snap peas in April and that thing held up through three windstorms on my 5th floor balcony in Chicago. Meanwhile my hand-built cedar trellis I spent $60 on is already leaning like the Tower of Pisa. Has anyone else had the cheap stuff just work way better than the expensive version?

That's just how it goes sometimes lol. I've noticed the cheaper stuff is usually more flexible and forgiving, while the expensive stuff is so rigid it just snaps or breaks under stress. Kinda like how a cheap plastic spatula works better than a fancy metal one sometimes.

Right? Even with tools and stuff. The higher end ones are so specialized they're useless for anything else. Cheap stuff just adapts to whatever you throw at it.
