The problem being is that they hide a nasty mess. So I cant just chop them
down.


Has anyone ever tried cutting off all the branches and the tops, then
attaching netting or wires to what is now effectively poles and letting
something fast (Russian vine?) or anything else climb over it all?

Not, I beseech you, Russian vine. Absolutely anything BUT Russian vine, in
fact! It will take over your garden and your neighbours' gardens in no time
flat. It's not known as mile a minute vine for nothing.
