Default Chinese Virginia Creeper- restraing growth of

I'm wondering about growing the Chinese Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus
Henryana) on a fence that is only 6 feet high. I've read that its ultimate
height & spread would be 10m x 6m.Is it feasible to direct its growth
sideways rather than upwards and trim it back if it and where it insists on
growing above the desired height? I know climbers vary in what they'll
happily allow you to do to them and I don't want to be fighting it if this
really isn't suitable.

Any advice appreciated.
