I sow all my pole beans indoors in 3" peat pots and transplant them outdoors after 3-4 weeks of growing when the 10-day forecast doesn't show any lows below 40 degrees F. Nothing ever bothers them when they are this tall- not sure why you are thinking about growing them so tall.
I also direct seed a row of Provider in early May or when the soil is warm enough for a week or two of beans before the pole beans kick in.
