BUT I may be wrong.
The tendrils on the vines move around in a circular motion until they hit something then they grab it and coil up.
Here is a bean doing the same thing.

Good videos! I just goggle imaged "cucumber trellis" and got tons of pics, but none with safety fence. I did see some using wooden lattice which is wider that the plastic fence. Most were tepees some were growing upright like a fence, wonder what the advantages of tepees vs fence are?
