Using 8 foot long X 1" bamboo poles for trellises

I am very happy with the bamboo poles, they are strong and resilient.  At first I was skeptical when the slightest breeze knocked over my bamboo teepees.  But it turns out that after there is some weight pulling downward on them, they will not go anywhere.  We have had a few good windy storms since the trellises have been covered by beans and peas.  Every one of them were still standing after the storms.

Two of the trellises I built have a large load on them and they are still standing same as when I put them up.  They are the Italian beans/peas.  They look kind of wild, like pictures I have seen of kudzu in the south that has covered old buildings, automobiles, trees, etc.   These two rows were planted 3 feet apart and there is barely enough room between them to get in there and pick peas.  There is a canopy over the top between the two rows, made by tendrils from the two rows meeting and grabbing onto each other. 

Update:  First, I may have already added some of this information.  Forgive me if some of this is a repeat.  I have compared pictures of pea and bean varieties and have discovered that these are probably a variety of cow pea.  They look the same as pictures of cow peas I found on google images.

I wasn't going to plant these next year but I have changed my mind.  I picked all of them after they dried, then shelled them and they gave me about 4 pounds of shelled peas. An easy thing to do while watching TV.  And they are delicious.  

With the minimal amount of work involved in planting, harvesting and shelling these peas, I would say they are worth it in addition to all of the produce I gathered from my garden.  These are great for the occasional small pot of bean soup in the winter months.  With them in my diet, it is less boring.  What a treat they are.

Here are my Italian Fagolina cow peas in a gallon freezer bag.  As you can see, comparing them to the dime, they are very small.
