trellis for peas?

Greetings,

Well, it's still too cold to plant here in southwest rural Colorado.  We had
soft frost on the ground this morning.

However, I bought all my seeds and peas of the "Early Perfection" variety
are among those waiting to be seeded and put in the garden.  The packet says
they will stand on their own but when I planted them last year, they fell
over and the pods rotted.  What should I stake these to?  Do they need a
vertical rack like I've seen on some gardens?  And just how do you stake up
the plants?  I find the tomato cages wasteful and plan on using strong thick
dowels for them, but I have no idea how to stake up ANY of the plants.
