We prune our trees yearly and use the pruning so as pea sticks.  We grow about 7-8'rows, 3m long each row.  They work a treat and after the peas have been picked the twigs that are past it are shredded and used on the allotment paths.

For the mange tout we use a small A frame with black netting stretched across as they grow higher than the peas.

Thanks for all the ideas. I think my problem has obviously been using the wrong string and the fact that I can often only go at weekends means that sometimes sags have got so big over the course of a week they have turned into full-on collapses from which there is no coming back from!

We also have such a huge array of wildlife here that things have to be fairly robust (I have seen squirrels running along my runner bean frame for example). We also have muntjac deer which may not always eat crops but definitley wander in the beds as we see them and their footprints. They are so cute it is hard to get cross with them...
