If I was to grow zucchini in pots would a tripod of Brunnings bamboo stakes be enough support? (The thin kind?) Or should I go for a thicker individual wooden stake for each, or a cheap wooden lattice?
I probably wouldn’t be letting the fruit get full size. More young tender zukes
I’ve never staked zucchinis, the grow in a sprawling style. From memory I think the stalks might be a bit too fragile for forcing upright? I’m no expert though, just what’s worked for me.

Ah I kinda have to though. Using pots in a limited space and trying to keep the fruit off the ground.
I’ll try to be very careful with wide fabric ties and picking them small
Zuchs don’t usually need staking as they form a rosette style bush. Maybe one thick sturdy stake to tie the growing tip up to.
Thanks, that sounds nice and cheap.
I want to do tiny sugar pumpkins too but that might be too many plants
Pumpkins do tend to sprawl - these will need a trellis or something.
Maybe in future then
