old gc2400 was instrumental in building 4 tomato trellis, each 8ft long and hinged for storage.
used tractor to haul the lumber up, stabilize the 2 halves while joining, carry down to garden and test using bucket to place. then carrying to storage area for winter.
odds are next plant season I will not be able to physically build these so I did it and tested it now.
each half is 2 2x4x8 nailed to 2 2x4x4 end pieces. then the hinges placed at top of the uprights and old wire fencing installed. 1ft 2x3 nailed to hold fencing in place, 6 per side. these also give me stacking room.

can carry 2 at a time orientated to place or 1 at a time oriented to stack.




all ready for May 2026....
