You are right that it is very time consuming to tie the twine to the top wire.  If you have acre long rows, you might need to plant bush beans.  Horizontal rows of twine would sag. Beans do not climb well on horizontal wires nor do they cling to wire as well as to string.  We do use the heavy wire panels for sugar snap peas.  Many years a yard section of them will fall back away from the wire panel.  The vines attach to one another with greater adhesiveness than to the wire.

Sorry if this a repeat, but I sent it yesterday and it hasn't shown up yet.

In a previous post, someone in this group said they use T posts with high tensile wire run across the top of the posts, anchored at each end of the row.  Then they use sisal bailing twine tied to the wire every few inches that runs to the ground, then tied or weighted to keep it from blowing around.  This sound like a LOT of work for several acre long rows.  Is there any reason why I can't run several levels of twine horizontally?

 

Thanks for your help.
