No, the fence is in the only place where a trellis should be....

Why? I had planned to trellis the indeterminate tomatoes and grow them vertically.

How much sun does the location get, Marc? Keep in mind that sun exposure comes from the south...

Full sun from dawn until dusk, zone 9.

Wow, in your case - you can do exactly as you are planning to do. It goes against conventional sfg thinking, but trust me - it'll work. With 8 years of using this method under my belt and 64 running feet of trellis in the garden, I've done it all.

Can you explain what the conventional thinking is? And just to confirm I should put the terellises where I've marked in grey in this picture? I want the tomatoes to get full sun all day but not create a wall and block out the sun for the cucumers.

Just run a trellis where the center gray line is....

Conventional thinking is to only locate a trellis on the north end of the raised bed, but mine run in all sorts of directions. If there's enough hours of sun exposure each day (minimum of 6 hours), it'll be fine. This one runs NW/SE, and does great for tomatoes

The conventional thinking is that a N-S trellis will shade half the garden in the afternoon and half the garden in the morning. A trellis running E-W will cast a shadow to the north in the northern hemisphere, so it will not shade the other vegetables at all. That is why it is recommended that taller plants go to the north.

If you have enough sun, it may not be an issue. Remember that shadows do change a lot as the angle of the sun changes during the year.
