How far down the path of deep seated regret do you think I'll travel in the fall?

I got tired of remaking my sisal trellice every season, and didn't like using nylon netting, so I went with something more long term. The downside? Vine removal in the fall will likely be a slog.
Can you just let it dry and brush off with a stiff bristle or leaf blower? Thats my plan for my cheap wire mesh. Good stuff is so expensive. But mines are peas and tomatoes, assuming cukes for yours?
Cukes, peas, beans, pumpkins, trombetta, and butternut squash. Basically something different ever 2 feet or so.
The vines do get easier to remove in the spring if you let them overwinter, but they can still be a pain to get off.
Dang, I was hoping it would be easier and I could save the metal mesh, but sounds like I’ll invest in something heavier. This years the more expand and experiment anyways, so didn’t want to invest too much on trellis yet anyways.
The peas will attach, but I’ve got plant wire and twine for the tomatoes, so hopefully they peel right off after o remove those?
How do you deal with rotation with something like this? Thats partly why I’ve been hesitant about permanent structures like this.
Gorgeous. I love this. What all you gonna grow on that monster?
Edit: nevermind. I see you answered that already. Nice
Not everything makes it all the way to the top, but it's pretty epic. I'll have to try to keep the vines on the inside, otherwise harvesting will be a massive pain.
In the fall just burn it off with a weed burner (dragon torch).
