Welcome to the forum!
Thank you! I have been looking everywhere for alternative trellis solutions, and hadn’t seen this one anywhere else! The soft ties worked perfectly. I don’t think I’ll need to disassemble it until I change out my plants. There’s still plenty of access to prune and drain, and it certainly looks better than the tin foil I was previously using to deflect my kitties! |

This is awesome! One of my cats (the one in my profile pic, Punky) already comes running and chirping when he hears me rip the rouge lettuce leaves off because he LOVES it (more than I do but it's the only thing ready to harvest so far). None of my catnip seeds have germinated so this is a nice consolation prize for him, but I would definitely need this workaround to prevent cat-burglaring of crops as I sit here coveting and pondering a farm purchase while everything is 30% off!

sal, the thing I like most about the Farm 12 XL (36" growing height) and the Farm 12 (24" growing height) is that they really do allow you to grow anything. This is especially true of the XL. Note that the Farm 12 XL is quite heavy, and the Farm 24 Plus and Farm 24 XL are even heavier. It's best to have two people available to assemble the big 24 models. Check the shipping weights when you buy. I can generally handle 30 pounds at this point. I've managed to assemble two Farm 12 XLs and one Farm 24 Plus by myself, but they all tested my limits! Unpacking the shipping box outdoors in the place where UPS left it was necessary for the big gardens.

sal, I really enjoy hearing about your cat garden burglar! And glad you found a deterrent.
I hope you can get one of the larger gardens! I have to just dream of them due to lack of space.

sal, your burglar is cute. I have the xl version and I walked the box up the step and in the house. It is heavy. I was also able to put it together on my own until I got to the top where I needed Mark to get the screws in because of my RA my hands were getting tired. I think one person alone can do it but it is best if you have some assistance especially getting it in the house in the box.
