How to build a trellis next to a fence?

I want to build a trellis next to our boundary fence as part of our vegetable garden, to be used, not only to support climbing crops but to also block ugly old cracked boundary fence.

Was planning on using H3 treated pine and galvanised mesh.  The size I need is:

Length 3.8 m
Height  2.0 m (mesh to top 1/2 to 2/3 only)

I want to use stirrups to hold up posts rather than cementing post into ground if possible, assuming I will need 3 uprights.

I have noticed that Bunnings does not sell 4 x 4 posts (at least not here in WA) - so after advice on what sizes my framing and posts would need to be to make it structurally sound.

I hope my question makes sense, newbie DIYer :smile:

I have attached some images to provide an idea of what I am going for, but with replacing the wooden lattice with galvanised mesh - also open to considering other suggestions or recommendations.. Thank You
