I have metal pallisade gates that need 'covering' so no nosy peops can see in. The gates are about 2 metres tall and 6 metres across. Obviously the gates need to open and close.

Im looking to grow creepers/ivy type plants that will cover the whole area while still having the praticality of an opening gate. Have thought of ivy, but it doesnt look all that nice. Thinking of something that wont weigh much, can grow 'horizontally' and will be thick/bushy enough all year round.

An example of what metal palisade looks like :

Must add that I'm a complete gardening novice, mostly limited to knowing that grass is green

either a jasmine, or a Clematis armandii, which is evergreen, fast growing and light/flexible.
