Another question

I'm guessing putting the fence/trellises closer than 4' apart might not be a good idea?

... Which just gave me another idea!

A tunnel, or arbor would work great. The worst set-up is actually something vertical. Any structure that leans to one side, generally will have the beans leaning over past the leaves, making them easier to find and pick.
