Does anyone have any ideas about making nice looking structures to stalk, beans and peas? I saw these gorgeous wrout iron ones at the nursery today, but 50 dollars each...don't think so!!! I need to make 3 or 4 of them. Do you think making teepees out of sticks or bamboo would work?
I'd like to put some sort of ornament on the tops of them maybe.

making teepees out of sticks or bamboo would work? +++++++++++++++++ That's exactly what i do Rose. Then i start at the top and wind a piece of twine round and round to the base to give the plants a little extra grip. If you want an ornament on the top, use a length of the sticks in the middle vertically and a bit longer than the rest to fix it to. It'll also give the structure more stability:) I use tomato stakes about 2 metres long.
