Wire trellis perpendicular to wall

Wire trellis perpendicular to wall

We have an air conditioning unit at the side of our house that I want to obscure by putting a trellis' in front and behind it, and then growing climbers on them.  Unfortunately they have to be relatively tall (e.g., 1.8 m), and 0.6 cm wide.  I wanted to make it out of something that would last and so didn't want to use wood (as it will be partially exposed to the elements.

 

I had thought of using this: https://www.bunnings.com.au/jack-1900-x-600mm-grip-and-grow-freestanding-plant-trainer_p0054579?stor...

 

However I don't think that this will be strong enough as it will be perpendicular to the wall (rather than being flat against the wall).  I had also considered two of these https://www.bunnings.com.au/carinya-600-x-300mm-black-heavy-duty-twisted-stay-bracket_p0212168 (one top, one bottom), with wire/mesh stretched between them, but wasn't sure if this would look a bit too obtrusive.

 

Finally I had thought of putting two steel garden stakes into the ground (with wire in between them), but am concerned that this will be too obtrusive.

 

I was wondering if there were any other suggestions?
