Judy if these plants get what they need they will cover 600 sq,
ft....easy,,,,,they just keep growing until you cut the tips and bury
them,,,,,,,,,I take it the barn won't shade the plant?? you can prune the
plant or guide it anyway you want,,,don't move vines in the morning they
are brittle once there warm there more flexible,,,you want your main to
grow southwest.or away from the barn...but you can control it any way you
want.......if need be..........good luck brock
