For 2 years running my runner beans have tried to lie down on the job. I
do my best but obviously it's not good enough. As I grow them in the same
place each year I thought of getting 2 metal posts or angle iron 3 metres
long and burying them at each end about 1 meter in the ground. Has anyone
successfully done this, where might the best place to get such supports?

I've got a kid's climbing frame, minus slide, that I diverted out of the
scrap metal collection. I've also made a support out of concrete reinforcing
bar by welding together five A frames, and joining them longitudinally. This
was also diverted from scrap, as I was at the time involved with such
things. I've seen them made from old bed irons, old plumbing pipes, and all
manner of stuff. The only limitation is your imagination.
