Potential to grow on existing fence / wire

Shaunoc · 2019-02-26 13:22:06

i have post and 4 rail fencing on roadside bordering my front lawn (approx 75 metres length, 4 feet high ish). I have horse wire on my side of it to ensure dogs stay where dogs should stay. I keep the roadside painted annually to keep it looking decent. Is there a solution to use it to grow a suitable creeper on my side…

Is there a solution to use it to grow a suitable creeper on my side using horse wire?
Would I ruin the fence which is in good nick in medium/long term and therfore end this notion immediately?
Is there such an ivy / creeper suitable and would not invade my lawn and poison dogs (prone to tasting whatever they want)?

My gardening know how is limited to daffodils and grass.
