Hope this helps!
They have them in plastic at the DIY stores. If none in your home town, maybe you could order some, perhaps Amazon.
Vinyl lattice trellis are nice and need no upkeep. Strings for the garden to climb would work, or even a chicken wire prop for them would work. Is this what you mean?
You could use any type of fencing and just make supports on the sides you can sink into the ground or the raised bed. I use the chain link fence around the outer border of our yard in my garden for cucumbers and squash, works perfectly. I have wire fencing around the other two sides of my garden that I use for the lower part of my pole beans and the squash and cucumbers that grow to the corners and around. I found a netting at Walmart and a few other garden centers that you can put up between a few poles for support that would probably work too.
an old bed spring also works great for a trellis Or An old screen door, replace the screen with chicken Wire. You could even use an inexpensive metal backers rake.
Maybe some cabinet doors, again replace the inside square piece with chicken wire or string .
PVC pipe will make a sturdy one.
Attach the pipe in your desired shape and then either attach your wire or your string.
Good luck! 🍀
Order a metal one form a gardening catalog or on the internet.
