How do you train a vine to grow on a fence?

I want to train a honeysuckle vine to grow along the back stretch of my fence. How do I do that?

How do you train a vine to grow on a fence?
You can do it an inexpensive way and use a fishing line.....they sell the clear line at Walmart or Target. It's also nice that's it's clear so it won't be an eye sore.



You can bend it easily and tie it in small knots so you can guide your vine in whatever direction you would like it to go....I got the idea two years ago and it's worked great on my vines!
Reply:Did you just plant it? What kind of fence? Does it have places to attach itself to? It is a vine, it will take over your fence itself, while it is small, you may need to help the little vine strings to climb (set them up in whatever direction you want them to grow), after a while it will do it itself.
Reply:You can buy "wraps" at a hardware store or use twine to lightly tie the vine ends where you want them to grow.( allow enough slack for plant growth)
Reply:You could get some chicken wire and staple to the fence so the vine has something to hold onto
Reply:first you cut a leaf off of a vine tie it to the fence and then water it every day.
