Please clarify.I think you got 'wrong end of the stick'....earlier on the post I mentioned using stock fencing for my peas supports..and to show 'Small' (original poster with 'failure') I posted the photo for...actually that particular pea crop with its supports was far from failure..only issue I had was the variety I was growing there, not the nicest of the mange touts.
.................but as far as I remember the peas didn't cling very well, needed too much 'help,', and once they got some size, the whole lot fell over just as badly, and at the end of the season the sorting out of pea haulm for compost and hazel twigs for bonfire was a faff...but I suppose we all find the ways that suit us in the end...
I have an old ELC swing frame... as the boys are now in their 20's it makes a good frame for climbing veg...
