Simple trellis for green beans

There are some great trellis's shared here!

I was just working on the trellis above my new barrel garden.
The old trellis was a plastic clothesline string between a fence and a tree and tensioned with a ratchet strap
I replaced the stretchy plastic clothesline with a steel  cable.
The cable forms a loop, running from the branch of a mulberry tree down the  fence line, over the hook of the ratchet strap and back to a different branch on the same tree.

Next I made some "TomaHooks" from old bucket handles and  wound them with 18' of twine.
I'm hoping to try lower and lean with them.
After I ran of jute twine, I stopped making TomaHooks, but when I resume, I might use bicycle spokes.

I still needed supports, so I switched to using grape vines.
I fold one end over the cable and secure it with a binder clip.
The other end I twist tie to the bean plant.

All of you who love trellises should think about using the large animal panels, 4 ft X 16 ft with 4 "T" , spaced 4 ft apart, with the posts to hold them up. You need a trailer or a friend with one to haul the panels but these guys last for a very long time.

The one problem I have with mine is that I did not mount the panels high enough off the ground for my mower to conveniently get under the panel to mow grass/weeds. SO, those should be about 8" plus to allow for mowing. You could even go wider than 4 ft, but not much as you either lose headroom or you panels need to be mounted even higher up on the posts.

Green beans (Kentucky Wonder variety, although I think there is a new variety that is stringless) are great at growing and harvesting under these trellises. To clean off the old vines just use a pair of gloves and grab tight around the verticals of the panels and pull down. No need to "clean up the mess" as those vine parts become a part of the earth in no time.

This is slightly off topic but I’d love to use some of these trellis ideas on my deck to block the summer view of my neighbor with something green & growing. My deck is on the 2nd storey, though, so would have to be potted plants. Will beans grow well in pots? Any other ideas for bushy vines that are edible or attract pollinators? I’m in the BC Interior with pretty hot summers.
