    I was thrilled to see someone else having arches on his balcony. You are on the 18th floor and hence have more wind issues than I do, but having a western balcony just IS a windy headache.
    I googled plants for seaside gardens to find the ones which should be able to thrive and am tomorrow planting a honeysuckle and a early (group 1) clematis on the most exposed sides and a wisteria plus a climbing rose on the less exposed.
    That should do the trick but we will see.
    Good luck with your climbers! 🤞☺️
