Leafy climbing/viny plant for natural arches (self.gardening)

submitted 8 months ago by arcosenautic to c/gardening

Hello everyone! What are some fast growing leafy plants that could extend from wooden supports every 4 Meters or so? I'm looking to make a pretty long natural walkway with some sort of shade overhead. I think fast growing plants are the best option. Is there something leafy enough to cross 4 meters?

I'm in a wet temperate climate.

There are good answers on here already, but I'll add any gourds. Consider if you want annual or perennial, evergreen or deciduous, edible or ornamental.

4 meters is a long way to go with no supports. If you had netting or wire or something, it would be a lot easier.
