Default support sugar snap peas

Anyone out there grow sugar snap peas? What do you use to support the
vines? We have used string between 5 foot metal poles but the vines
top that and wind around each other then break off at the top in
moderate wind. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Jane

I grow sugar snap peas and love them. If you do not pick them too early,
they develop a real sweetness. For support I use concrete reinforcing wire
(mesh). They are 8 feet long, 6 feet high with 6 inch squares.
