Default Pole beans as a screen?

What is a woven wire basket? I may want to try out some beans this year.

Thank you

need to cover with the beans? I haven't grown
beans in pots, but every year we put pole beans in the garden that we
plant in woven wire baskets (so they can climb the baskets). The
baskets are about three feet in diameter (and four to five feet high)
and I usually put about a dozen seeds in each basket. If you have a
significant space to cover, you might not get enough plants to do the
job in two containers that are only one-foot by one-foot (such as if
you're trying to cover 20 feet).

Sounds like an interesting way to provide shade. Good luck with your
project.
