Will these supports work for runner beans? Also general garden advice?

Am doing some planting with the kids and generally doing the garden up it was all weeds in all the flower beds. So last summer dug them out but did nothing with them so this time am making something "nice" with the kids.

These are either sides of the patio doors
I am starting a herb garden off. We already have a good rosemary bush thats been replanted and the pot is for some mint ....anyway the cane support is for some runner beans? Will that work? Am rubbish at growing so am hoping these will work I got a tray of them at the local garden centre today.

The other photo is another cane set up for sweet peas and the blank space is for my rhubarb plant ... Hoping it will cover the horrid tree stump?

Those supports will work fine for any kind of peas or beans and as the house provides shelter they shouldn't collapse in the wind. You might need to tie them to the string or canes at first with some twine or pea rings but they'll very quickly look after themselves. Have fun!

Runner beans can train themselves after you get them started. You may want taller framework tho. I put up 7' canes last year and they outgrew them. Once they set flowers, water regularly. When the beans come , pick very regularly and they keep coming. The kids will love hunting for the hidden beans behind leaves etc
