A different kind of runner bean frame

Today I had to build a runner bean frame on our shared plot. Traditionally these are an 'A' frame but last years got a bit weighed down with beans and eventually started to lean rather dramatically.

This year I opted for a rather different design, the beans grow up the short side and then along the slope. Hopefully this will allow for easier picking as the beans will hang down.

Time will tell, and if it works well enough then I will make a more robust version for next year.
