Gday there Marc in West Oz here, The way that we grow our cukes is angling
our trellis on a 45 degree angle growing towards the north, but I guess you
guys would have to grow them towards the south up there.This  makes the
cukes grow dead straight as they hand down don't get marked by touching
anything and you can also grow som lettuces in the space under neath and
they don't get burnt on the really hot summer days.

Regards

Marc from West Australia

Marlin,

Thanks for the reply. I used the weave method for the first time on tomatoes
this year (approx 1000'). It is a lot of work, but I really liked the
results. So, I guess I will try it on cucs.

 

 Mike here is my zip code. We may set a record high tomorrow in the 70's.

Why can't one use stakes and twine (Florida Weave) for cucs, like tomatoes

 

I think one could.  My neighbor did something like that last year with his
but he told me that it was a lot of work and it took a lot of twine.  I
think I'm going to try it on a short row this coming year.  I predict that
it will go a lot like trying to stake and weave oxheart tomatoes (notorious
for weak, wimpy stems).  Again the issue is the cost of stakes, twine, and
time.
