How can I train clematis up a barn without trellis?

[ICameISawIPlanked]

I’ve got some clematis climbing up a barn but I see that it’s growing vines along the floor and when I stretch them out they are about 2 m long. I want to attach them to the side of my barn to support them, and encourage upward growth.

Is there any way I can do this without erecting a trellis?

Screws and garden wire?

Get those hooks that screw in, or even just normal nails, attach them to the wall at various points, tie garden wire or string between them.

Screws and garden wire as suggested, we've done this on our fence

That looks like a climbing hydrangea. It should self cling ans climb up the wall by itself. I think the paint might be slightly too slippery for it. Wire and eyes should work but you wont need much

Actually you are right 😂 thx

Clearly I haven’t a clue, which is why I’m asking.

Yes it does cling onto the barn itself, it’s just I’m struggling to get these 2 x 2m offshoots to attach to the wood. They are just growing along the floor.

I’ve got some climbing hydrangea on a brick wall. I find that to get bits to grow back and up so it then self-adheres to the wall I sometimes need to lean a cane or two up in front of it to push it back iyswim.

If you ever need to paint/put preservative on the wall in question trellis is better. You just unscrew it and lay it on the ground with the plant still attached, then reserve when painted. It the plant is self-attached to the wall then it’s a nightmare to get it off for painting and you’ll have trouble getting it reattached.
