I use t-posts and roll fencing.  I've done this for two years and had 
poor results one year and good results last year.  The biggest 
difference was that the first year I relied on the plants to vine up the 
fencing on their own, but last year I used an ag-clip to tie the vine on 
the fence to get it started in climbing.  Quality of the cukes went way 
up compared to cukes grown on straw mulch on the ground.  They were much 
straighter and looked real good.   My Suyo Long cukes did especially 
well on the fence.
