Worth, I've been reading through this thread and I have some questions I hope you can answer.
Would it be possible to modify the teepees for a slope?
If we have another rainy summer I was wondering if the teepee would hold all the weight if it becomes waterlogged(i.e. the teepee the plants the fruit)
Would it be possible to use corn row fencing in place of the twine?
I've been thinking about growing vining crops other than beans such as squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc on the teepees..would they hold the weight if the plants produce well?

On a slightly different topic ideas to reinforce bean teepees and trellises made from bamboo would be most welcome! 2 severe thunderstorms made mince meat of our trellises, cages, and supports last year. Replacing all those has emptied the garden budget this year.
