What is the difference in size between the small and large cradles?
Hi Cindy,
The small cradle is about 16" and about 24" for the large one. Typically large butternut squash and pumpkins and medium to large watermelons work best in the bigger cradle and acorn squash, cantaloupe, smaller watermelons etc. work out nicely in the small ones.
Are the small cradles ok for watermelon or should I get the large cradle.
If you are growing traditionally large watermelons the larger cradles are better.
How much weight will both the large and the small melon cradels hold?
Both the small and large should hold over 50 lbs.
What is the easiest way to attach these to a hardware cloth fence? Should I use a D-clips, or is there a cool way to tie them that I haven't figured out?
Hooks or zip ties will support heavy melons. Those are the main options, but as you alluded to, there's a lot of options also probably laying around the house!
Very efficient.
These melon cradles are strong and worked like a charm. When I have more melons, I will definitely order more. My order came very quickly. Appreciate!
I ordered 10 large & 10 small to try and I love how easy they are to use & can’t wait to order more!! These are great if your growing on a trellis. Thank you so much for putting out a great product!!
Not only are these cradles beautiful in my garden, but they are sturdy enough to hold even 12 lb Zucchino Rampicante squashes. I am really glad I purchases them.
Awesome they work great for all size melons
