Easy little project at my brother-in-law's place a couple of weeks ago. Took about 5 hours and cost less than $100. Really makes a difference.
The fence is all you can see from one of the bedroom windows, so it needed something to make it less bland. However the fence is very close to the house so we wanted to do something that wouldn't take up too much space.
I made a quick video with a time lapse camera just for fun 
Thanks for checking this out, happy workshopping.
Cheers, Roy

Hopefully @royq will be able to get back to you shortly about what wire he used, but I do know that in a similar Bunnings project the team used this - https://www.bunnings.com.au/pinnacle-3-2mm-316-marine-grade-stainless-steel-wire-rope-per-metre_p431... It's also available in 4mm and 5mm versions.
What are you planning?

Hi @mel2795,
Welcome to Workshop. We're really pleased to have you join in the discussion.
In a previous post on this discussion, Roy shared that it was Chinese Star Jasmine that he planted - https://www.bunnings.com.au/140mm-chinese-star-jasmine-trachelospermum-jasminoides_p3640650
Let us know if you need a hand with anything.

Hello everyone,
The work and photos on this thread are a great inspiration! My fence is the identical colourbond color and the green really seems to make this pop.
Does anyone have any alternative ideas to the Chinese Star Jasmine? I have allergies to its flowers 
I have passionfruit on the shortlist... maybe a ficus pumila - although it might struggle on the wire, any other ideas?
Cheers,
