If you lack for space...grow up!!! :o)

I had tall obelisks (8 to 10 feet tall) made out the fence panels - they were triangular and each side was about a foot wide. Here is a photo of one from a few years back...I had Henka Asagao Blue Blizzard Morning glories growing up it. I planted the morning glory in the middle and as the tendrils grew I started winding them through the obelisk. They quickly caught on and covered it completely.

The only morning glories I grow now are the rare yellow ones. I gave a friend the tall wire obelisks a couple of years ago...but after seeing my old photos am thinking I'm going to have to make some again and put them to use with some larval host vines instead.

Guess you could roll a strip of the fence panel into a tube and weld or wire the ends together but to me the triangular shape offers more stability. The wire is 1/4" thick so it's a bit hard to roll into a tube...it's easier to bend or fold them over to form the triagle or even a tall rectangle.
