When my sister mentioned that she couldn't screw or nail anything into
her fence panels, I remembered a product I had used some years ago.
After much Googling I found Tenax No-Nail Fixers at Amazon, which look
to be exactly what I had used, but they are currently unavailabe and
Amazon don't know when/if they will be in stock again.

Basically, these are like cable ties with a central disk which is
"glued" to the wall with a pad of epoxy resin which is supplied along
with the ties. I can't seem to find this product or anything similar
available online.

Any suggestions?

Can she fix anything to the fence posts rather than the panels? In any
case fence panels aren't exactly designed for supporting trellis; it
would be better if she could fix them to the fence posts, or failing
that, use separate posts driven into the soil and the trellis fixed to them.

If the fence panels are the only option, how about two "n-shaped" pieces
of wood with one arm of the "n" screwed to the top of the trellis
uprights and the other arm looped over the fence panel, with a couple of
short pieces of post screwed to the bottom of the trellis uprights and
pushed into the soil. That would mean some of the "n" wood showing on
the other side of the fence, which may not be acceptable, depending on
whether or not it would be screened by a tall shrub on the other side.
