Should one use dozens of canes or is there a simple and cheap way to do
this?

If they are in a greenhouse you need dangling strings. Wind the string
round the plant as it grows. Obviously you need a substantial place
to attach the strings to.
Outdoors you need canes or grow bush varieties.
I prefer canes in the GH myself.
I have a wire fixed between the end of the Gh near the roof. I clip the
canes to it with these natty clips from Medwyns:

They work really well, and are much , much quicker than tying up canes.
We use them for canes for the climbing beans as well.
