I can't address the construction issue, but you definitely *can* grow
melons by building a strong frame on one side of the structure, for
the vines to grow on, and hanging the melons in hammock-style things.
I made mine out of plastic bird mesh, which was strong enough for
cantelopes. Obviously, you'd need something much stronger for
watermelons, but it can be done.

I love the groundhog ladies with big melons.
