grow them up a trellis (which is my plan this year)
I did try this once but these trailing cucurbits have a natural propensity to not fight gravity and would much rather roam where ever they like .
I had to keep training and tying them up as they grew and then you have the weight of the fruit to support later on.
Heres some low maintenance squash ...

A Kuri/Hokkaido, squash perhaps? Homegrown squash is usually delicious, I love it. They usually recommend about 5ft between plants, bit less if you grow them up a trellis (which is my plan this year). Slugs love them, though.
