I do a little of both. Just don't expect the tendrils on the vines alone to support the heavy load of squashes as they mature. This trellis is just over 4 feet wide and 7 feet high.

Should squash be grown on a trellis?

Does squash need a trellis? Squash does not need a trellis, but it does enjoy one. Squash will grow on a fence, in a raised bed, flat on the ground, or anywhere else it is allowed to wander. Providing a trellis helps to keep your squash in the area you want it to be in.

What squash can grow on a trellis?

Vine varieties will climb a trellis, and bush types (sometimes called patio plants) will not. So, it doesn't matter whether you have summer or winter squash, pumpkins or gourds. From butternut to spaghetti, kabocha to acorn – any kind can be trained vertically as long as it's a vining variety.

What is the best support for squash plants?

The easiest way is to train them onto trellis. A simple one-piece trellis can be secured against a sun-facing wall or strong fence. Plant your squashes the same distance apart that they would grow at if left at ground level.
