The video that gusto posted is what I did this year for my green beans, cukes, pumpkins, and melons. The beans are the first plants that have started running up the trellis, they seem to like it. I went the traditional route with the tomatoes, just used cages.

I will add that, while the conduit is pretty cheap, the conduit fittings are a bit pricey, but it seems like really the only thing you would have to replace would be the netting every so often, so I think it's more a one time expense on the frames.
