Vertical Trellis Spacing


Does anyone have experience or advice on the spacing of vertical
trellises?  I have 4' wide raised beds in which I planted mostly vine
crops (tomatoes, cukes, cantaloupes, pole beans, etc.).  I started to
build trellises out of 3/8" rebar inserted into pre-drilled holes along   
    

the wooden raised bed frame, with bamboo cross-supports lashed across the   
    

tops and 6" spaced nylon netting.  I used the plant spacing recommended   
    

in Mel's  book.  My concern is that with the close spacing (there is a
trellis traversing the raised bed about every foot along its length) some   
    

of the crops will be shaded out by others.
