You can use Black MDPE water piping, first put steel reinforcing bars in
where you want the vertical posts, height of these needs to be the same
as your intended vertical height, slide the pipe down over horizontals
again need the reinforcing bars to be straight. looks fine once covered
in plants!
Spurred on by this posts I've been looking at alternative materials to
make a 2.5m high plant frame for climbing plants.
20mm black (or white) electrical conduit pipe appears strong enough to
remain vertical without additional internal supports and its around 50p
per metre for single pipe lengths (comes in 2 or 3 metre lengths).

Also available from places such as screwfix and other electrical retail
outlets. Depending on the retailer cheaper if purchased in bundles of 20
or 30 pipes.
