I am a newbie planning to plant out some green beans, which I have
already started off in the kitchen (current height is 12 to 18 inches).
Planting out this weekend in Yorks if there is no frost.

Question: I will plant the beans up against wooden fence panels. Will a
few lengths of twine strung laterally across the fence panels be OK for
support? The site is pretty well sheltered from the wind.

Thanks,
Bruce

May I suggest using fishing line?
Its much stronger than twine - not too expensive - invisible
You could do vertical with horizontals for the beans to climb up.

The use of fishing line is very dangerous in a garden, with discarded
or broken lengths easily capable of crippling birds or mammals if it
gets wound around their legs etc.

Polyproplelene string might be equally questionable ecologically,
except its easily seen, and can be re-used, year after year.
