A friend gives me bamboo poles which I use to make green bean teepees.  
I made a late planting of NK's Romano pole beans; they were 9' tall and
counting (and still producing) when they got zapped by our first frost.

fence as a support, will they grow that tall and produce beans all the way
up? 
Depends on the variety- some are more vigorous than others.  All the ones I
grow will easily climb to the top of an 8-foot pole....I usually tie 6
poles in a teepee perhaps 4 feet wide at the base.
