If I didn't trellis, they would take over even more so than squash

I do not understand why you trellis them?

Yes, I do.  But they try to avoid it and want to grow in a straight line along the ground.  (At least with the Beauregard variety.)

 
I have to go out every few days and tie them to the supports with gardening stretch tape.
 
I plant 8 slips in a 4'x 8' raised bed that abuts a chain link fence.  I tie the back plants to the fence.  The rest I tie to individual supports.  Four feet above ground is sufficient for the Beauregard variety.
 
I get right around 100lbs from the 4x8 bed.
