Ironwork semi circular fence toppers?

I want some semi-circular shaped metal fence toppers on which to tie climbing plants and raise the height of the boundary. Does anyone know if anything like that exists?

I wouldn't be able to add trellis as the fence is already the maximum height - although part of it adjoins agricultural land, not someone's garden and the other part a shared lane between gardens. As far as I know, you can use wires to raise the boundary height and so I thought maybe ironwork would be even more effective.

Essentially, it would provide wide, semicircular 'hoops' of ironwork, going all along the top of the fence. In time, climbers could then be attached to the top of each 'hoop' and trail down towards the top of the fence.

Does anyone know where I could get something like that? An alternative would be wooden semi-circular hoops but I've only seen that with trellis panels.

Any ideas?

Thanks ggirl but I'm not near that area. Any other ideas from anyone - preferably something that already exists and doesn't have to be custom made?

I got some many years ago but then worried like crazy as they were attached to wooden fence and everytime the wind was strong worried they would come crashing down. Can't remember where they were from but I remembered googling and got a very nice lady phoning me back and supplying them quickly. SORRY NO USE AM I?!
