I am fed up with my runner beans blowing over, thus making is a PITA to

see them advertised in the form of Washing |Line Posts, but a bit dear
me thinks. I thought of trying scrap metal merchants, but by the time I
have driven around to find a supply I may well have spent a lot on
petrol. Any other suggestions please?

What you need is guy ropes to prevent them from blowing over.

Also a double row withe the canes leaning and joined at the top to a
common horizontal rail/cane is more secure.
