Lots of supermarkets are selling cheap climbers at the moment - I've seen them in The Range and Morrison's. I'm sure the others will have them too.

The first thing to do would be to buy lots of 6 foot wide bean netting (the type with 6inch 'holes') and staple this horizontally to the fence. It becomes invisible from a few feet away and will save you hours of tying in. Then choose climbers such as Clematis, Actinidia, Winter and Summer Jasmine, Honeysuckle. The choice is vast!
