I use a blue pipe arch approx. every metre, no ridge support required, although I do find the end hoops can bend inwards when you weigh down the ends of the netting. I have 20mm, 25mm, and 32mm pipe. The 20mm is too flexible, the 25mm is OK, the 32mm is great and I use that for the end hoops to stop them bending inwards. Usually just push the ends in the ground but I'm doing no dig now so that is harder; might try looking out for some rebar. I tried bamboo canes but they just snap off eventually leaving a bit stuck in the end of the pipe.
There are often short lengths of 'blue pipe' on marketplace or gumtree left over from building works.

Perfect, thanks y’all. Do you put anything along the middle to act as a ridge or does it support itself well enough? Most of my beds are about 1.5-2m wide.
