Climbing plants on the house - yes or no - experiences?

I was able to score a small milestone in the battle for the climbing trellis on the house wall:

My husband and I like to watch "Fixer Upper." This time, the two participants did not do a renovation, but a new build. On the brand-new wall, the architect had installed a trellis with wisteria.

I quickly turned to my husband and rattled on at him with "see and look there, also a new build with climbing plant and Joanna knows what’s beautiful" etc. He burst out laughing. But he went outside with me and let himself be shown the intended size. :D

Our wisteria grew in 16 years from a stem as thick as a pen to a beautifully shaped part of the house. It blooms 2-4 times a year and has a wonderful fragrance. We have to prune it several times a year because otherwise it grows under the roof (2.5-story terraced house) and the windows have to be cleared. The insect activity is not noticeably increased. There is no trellis, only steel wire cables and a pergola that leads away from the house at a 90-degree angle.

Can you please show a photo?

I find wisteria very beautiful on the house, however you have to be sure you will never get rid of it again. We had one here in the garden, which was removed as much as possible along with the rootstock. It grew up a cherry tree, which it had almost completely crushed. Since that stuff is highly toxic, we had it removed with a small child around. The cherry tree has recovered, the wisteria now comes up in various places in the lawn, radius up to 2m from the original spot ;)

I would also like to see a photo.

At our house (clinker brick), among other things, ivy grows. You really have to be careful that something like that doesn’t grow under the roof. Because of the aerial roots, it would then be difficult or almost impossible to remove it from there. Therefore, what grows up on the wall is always kept nicely short at our place.

On a plastered house, I would rather plant something that requires a suitable trellis. Or a shrub that grows upwards without such support.

If your husband already drinks wine, I would suggest he plants vines, blackberries, or figs there, just to name a few plants. And he could then make his own wine from them. And thus also make something exotic like fig wine. Maybe this will change his mind.

I'm jumping on this here. We also want to equip our facade facing the street with a climbing net (made of stainless steel cables) and cover it with wisteria. However, the side is oriented northwest. Does anyone have experience with that? In principle, I would say that shouldn't detract from the matter.

Any tips for the design of the climbing net? Cable spacing? Really a net or just vertical cables?
