Thanks :) We had chicken wire last year and would a twine " catch" Around the outside of the pants to snug them against it.
The problem we have is with the main frame staying fixed and the dense pea/ weave not being blown so the peas get pulled up....is your frame like this one?
No frame at all. I do grow some peas on obelisks but that is the exception. I plant in a square or rectangle and then put tall strong bamboo or plastic canes in the corners and if it is a large patch also inbetween. I push short shrubby pea supports (hedge prunings) in between the pea plants inside the 'corral'. When the peas grow a bit, they grab hold of the shrubby supports and later when they have grown about 3 ft, I start to feed a length of string around the perimeter canes and when the peas grow more, a second to keep them inside and together. Usually with tall peas a third is needed.
But you can use this kind of frame, if you don't want to use it for beans. Just fix canes in the 4 corners and feed string around to keep the pea plants 'corralled'. Instead of string you could run netting or chickenwire around the outside of the structure you have, this would keep the peas under control and have the second advantage that they are better protected against pigeons too.
