Greetings,
I have been growing my cucumbers on trellises for years.  I plant at 6 
inch spacing at the bottom of remesh, [concrete reinforcing mesh] 
supported by  t-posts every 6 feet.  I find I have far fewer 
mildew/disease problems this way and it is much easier to harvest.
Bright Blessings,
Kim
