We built the cedar garden beds a couple of weeks ago, and today put in some cattle panels for tomatoes. Counting down til mothers day when I can move my seedlings outside!

I’ve used pretty much every trellis method for tomatoes over a few decades of growing them every year. Stakes, Florida weave, tomato cages, strings hung from a high wire, etc. About 5 years ago I set up cattle panel trellises just like yours and I’ve been using that ever since. For both determinate and indeterminate tomatoes. It’s really the way to go.
Mine are pretty much permanent in my garden bed now, I don’t even worry about crop rotation because tomato diseases are endemic in my area and there’s really nothing I can do to prevent late blight. I just add 3″ or so of compost to the beds every year and plant my plants and they do well.
Looks better than I did. Mine are supported by hopes and dreams.
Good luck getting in the middle.
Where did you buy the panels?
Looks great how high did you make them?
