Default Growing beans

I am growing beans in my garden and wasnt sure of what sort of support
(trellis etc) I should use. Has anybody got suggestions on this or a
pointer to something on the web?

Thanks

It sounds as though you're talking pole beans. You could make a
teepee/tripod arrangement out of three bamboo poles per hill of beans
and then use string where necessary for horizontal supports or
encouragement. You can find nylon peanet (our last batch came from
Harris Seeds in Rochester, New York), which is good for any twining
plant. If your beans are growing near rabbit or chickenwire you can
use twistems to fasten them to the fencing material.....just some
ideas from somebody growing hyacinth beans and scarlet runners for the
first time in a while
