Long bamboo sticks, like Tee Pee or cross hatch like tick tack toe. Tomato cage? 2 Hula Hoops fixed at a 90 degree angle and staked to ground. Or a 3d form like a wire snow man with 3 sizes of circles. Or even squares, rectangles. Could even do pyramid triangle: reverse it into a square or rectangle. Pretty wire, or pvc pipe shapes. Do a shadow outline of a house, city, etc. Do a wire cottage?
Try Home Depot. Google to see their assortment, and google to see how people have started from scratch And built their own.
I take a medium to large flower pot clay or plastic plant my morning glory seeds in the middle and my sweet pea seeds around the edge and insert a small tomato cage (color coated tomato cage works best) inside of the pot and let them climb. Note: you have to have enough potting soil in the pot and a big enough pot to support the tomato cage. Once the vines are established you can't tell it's a tomato cage underneath. Some ganders bury the top of the tomato cage and put a piece of string or wire around the loose prongs and give it a tee pee look instead.
I made several using copper pipe and connectors. Visually very light. if you make 2 verticals at the height you want attached at the top with t-connectors and a horizontal pice of pipe. Refrigerator tubing can be wrapped around the horizontal piece to hang down for the sweet peas to climb. The ends of the tubing can be stuck in the ground. This will last for years.
sorry no. I no longer live in that house.
