I need a lightweight pea trellis that would have a very narrow footprint. Any ideas?

I have used small branches for a pea trellis & it works pretty good. I also have some cattle panels that we had to cut shorter & I use these for bean trellises.

How about a branch trellis? I love the look of knarly branches supporting beans or peas in the garden...

We used a roll of wire fencing (a little heavier gauge than chicken wire) and metal fence stays and simple put up three in between rows. It makes it easy to access, easy to take down and easy to put away for next year. My dh cut them in sections of 4 feet long.
