Rick and Sandy - If you have access to a truck, even a small one, they are easy. The panels can be bent into an arch in the bed of the truck. The tension hold them in there just fine. Because I wanted them arched, I tied the ends together with bungee cords before taking them out of the truck, it made it easy for me to deal with them by myself. I brought them home in my little Nissan truck.
I have seen people using them on their sides as long 16ft trellis for cukes and beans, usually supported with t-posts, but haven't seen them bent like your drawing. I think they would need some sort of stake support, even bent like that. Everything in my garden grows taller than average due to only having about 6 hrs of sun, so I need the height, plus I really like the architectural structure they give to the space.
Dave - thanks for the welcome
