Lincoln peas were planted at 2 inch spacing along a 4 by 8 foot reinforcing concrete wire support. This type of support is readily available at hardware stores and is easy to work with. I hand paint it with Tremclad green paint, and store from year to year by hanging on the outside of my wooden shed. The trellis is an improvement over chicken wire.

Do you have to train them to your trellis or do they find their own way? I know those tendrils like something to grab a hold of, just wondering if they like help .

The peas tendril well on their own. Sometimes I weave through the six inch mesh.
