How would you attach heavy honey suckle to a fence

It's fallen off its climbing frame and the frame has buckled under it. So I would have to untangle it all and damage it.

I'd rather lift it into the fence again my side I was thinking a bracket?. ANY other ideas?

It shouldn't be attached to the actual fence panels as it could damage them. What are the fence supports made of? Can you attach vine eyes to the supports and run wires between them? Or put in a garden obelisk or other freestanding support.

Is it your fence?

I'd replace its "climbing frame" with something similar, an obelisk or something like that. You could cut it back so it's easier to put back up, although that will set it back this year, but it would soon make up the lost ground. They don't hang about, honeysuckles...

Yes it's my fence and the neighbours have their own fence on their side.

The problem with obelisk is that it's decking with height ie it's coming off where there is a significant drop if it can be supported a little by the fence it can make it to a bush to scramble too.

Then by the sound of things, vine eyes and wires is the way to go. Can you post a photo of where it is?
