I used a Half Hitch and a Sheet Bend to build a trellis for our out-of-control tomatoes. The knots are very strong, yet flexible enough to allow for the growing plants. The knots will be easy to undo when I take it down in Fall. Find them under menu>knots by type>basic.
Animated Knots also has paid apps for iOS and Android.
