Have you considered grapes? There should be some hardy varieties that
will do well in Ohio. A properly installed chain link fence should be
sturdy enough to support mature grape vines.

a few grape vines would be ok, but more
than that and you are asking for a lot of
work. grapes go in and out of chainlinks
which makes shaping/pruning a lot more of
a challenge. the cleanup each season means
a lot of holdfasts wrapped around the fence.
getting the extra vines removed is a task...

experience from 35 yrs ago. wouldn't
ever do it again.
