If you have every grown runner beans, you know that if they are not attached to some sort of trellis, they may end up taking way too much space in your garden. This was why these diy bamboo bean teepees can be very handy.

These are easy to build, and you can actually use wood or bamboo. If you have access to these materials for free this project can cost you almost nothing. You can have 6 or 7 plants to a teepee, this is how these help you save a lot of  space in your garden.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

• wood or bamboo poles
• string or wire
• bean plants or seeds
• sharp knife
• saw

If you know where your poles are going to be or if you can just plant your beans evenly in a circle, then you can plant the beans before setting up the teepees. Otherwise, grab about four to five poles per teepee. Push the bottom ends into the ground and tie the tops together.

The taller your poles the higher your beans can grow before they run out of space. The recommended height is about six to seven feet tall. If you put notches in your poles, they will help you keep the string or wire in place. Don’t forget to train and guide your bean plants up the teepee as they grow.
