We also plant several successions about every 3-4 weeks, this seems to be the only way to get consistently good quality. We also use this netting to trellis pole beans, peas, and horizontally for some flowers.
Hortnova is available (the cheapest I have found) from G&M Agricultural Supply (800)901-0096 at about 3,200 feet for $200

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.
