That was thought one -- will they get enough sun. If its a southern exposure it would be fine.

The other thought -- because of the way they climb by twisting around things, will they be able to grab onto the boards and wind around them? If not, you may need to provide some kind of alternate method of support, such as running some strings from the top of the fence to the ground.
