I grew the shark's fin up an old (early learning centre) swing frame.. I'm not sure canes would have taken the weight... :-\
[attachment=1]This is a Blue Banana squash growing up canes (in 2006)I just wanted to show that even heavy squash can be grown in this way and do very well. Will the frame be on show at your next open day. I hope you will not be too busy to have a chat about squashes but I know these dos can get very crowded.

I don't move them because they are fixed quite firmly into the ground. I dig a trench every year and fill with compost/manure so it doesn't seem to harm them growing in the same place every year.I'm sure I will have time to talk to you when you come over :) I'm getting quite good at delegating now. ;)
Now I know what those huge 52 inch H cup Brassieres they sell on the market come in for.
The ones I grew up the canes last year didn't do very well(apart from Sharks fin). Either someone on here or I read somewhere that squash like to grow on the surface so that they can keep moist and if they want to they can send down roots. Wish I could remember were I got the info from. If it was somone on here then perhaps they will come forward.
