Covering the chain link fence is a splendid idea, but even chain link has its load limits.Honeysuckle, trumpet vines are 2 that I know personally will cause it to sag. I don't use heavy vines. Hyacinth Bean, Cardinal climber, Blackeyed Susan,Clemitis are great for the chain link.
That's a great point genredneck--I haven't reached the load of a chainlink yet so I am unfamiliar with when it might be compromised. So far clematis, grape, and wisteria are doing fine on my chainlink (not to mention countless annuals) but I don't doubt in the future that the wisteria and grape will be a heavy load for the fence to handle. I think it is important to mix in annuals to lighten the load. I have a hard time suggesting Honeysuckle, Trumpet Vine, and Virginia Creeper because of their voracity and weight. Thanks for bringing up that point. Susanne
