I fell in love with the idea of a Sweetpea Teepee many years ago, but due to a lack of space at my other house I just was never able to do one for my kids when they were little. Who knows maybe I’ll make one for me to hang out in?
Find all the instructions for making one of these of your own here!
A few tips and tricks for a successful teepee:
- Take the time to turn compost into the soil; don’t just push beans into your grass and expect them to do well
- Use mostly Scarlet Runner beans (you can mix in a few other types if you want, but the Scarlet Runners are the champions)
- Make sure it’s in full sun
- Put it somewhere that deer won’t come and eat all the leaves off your vines
- If you’re doing this project with toddlers, plant pretty flowers around the base along with your beans. That way they have time to learn about not pulling up the plants before the beanstalk shoots come up.
Homemade Stepping Stones - We did this when the kids were younger and made a couple extra for grandparents present which they loved!

Have you ever made a Sweetpea Teepee? I’d love to hear how it turned out for you.

I pinned it earlier. It is just the most adorable thing! May just have to grow one in the corner of the yard!
This is just too cute! I love the idea, and I know the kids would love it… But would it be bad if I said I wanted one just for me? I mean really, just imagine…. its perfect camouflage, you can hide there when the kids are trying to find you… it’s the perfect cool place to sit, relax, and read a book! Going to try this one soon! Thanks for posting it!!
That is such a cool idea!! I love it!
I’m going to look into this more and see what I can do at my house. I think I have the perfect location for these too!

What a fun idea! It makes me want to start a garden just to try this out and see what other plants would work for this.
