Figured I'd update this post since when I first created it I couldn't find anything that really helped me with what I wanted to do that wasn't just a traditional trellis. First thing I'll say is I'll never grow passionflowers in the ground anywhere near my house again. Both native types - passiflora incarnata and passiflora lutea - spread around the yard and every week I was pulling tens of sprouts. The Variegated Frittilaries loved it and it was fun seeing caterpillars but what a headache. Keep them in containers, or way out in the woods. So I stuck with Loniceras.

I went with two trellises on two sides of my house (one by the deck, another on the other corner) that wrapped 180 degrees around half the gutter and grew Major Wheeler on it. These were cool trellises but a little pricey. I liked this setup, I just had to keep it trimmed or it would look a little unkempt on the house. And since Lonicera sempervirens is a twining vine I didn't worry about it attaching to or ruining the hardiplank. And I don't think ants like this vine because I didn't see many of them. The hummingbirds go crazy over this vine and I got great pictures of them over the years.

Then I had the other corner of the screened in deck that I wanted to do something with so I used two strings of metal twine between eyehooks in the soffit and near the bottom of the deck. I did two strings because I felt that a honeysuckle vine might have difficulty twining up just one. Here I went with Lonicer sempervirens 'John Clayton' which might be my favorite vine. It's a vigorous grower and the color is awesome.

But we moved out and I inherited a trellis over some stairs to the backyard on which I'm growing three Major Wheelers.

I still want a John Clayton vine so I created a single post support for it in the back based on the instructions from here. I'll update this post with a picture after it's grown a bit.
