Design for a multifunction trellis?

It's our first year in our new house, and I have a 10'x20' raised bed on which I have sown peas, radishes, beets, spinach, chard, and lettuce. Hope to follow up later in the year with beans, squash, pumpkin, eggplant, herbs, and tomatoes. We also have some blueberry and strawberry plants in containers.

The peas have come up and we need a trellis soon.
We also need to protect our garden from a tremendous population of sassy squirrels who are completely uncowed by our Contech Scarecrow sprayer. We also would like to protect plants from the cold late and early in the season. I have some animal netting to control the squirrels, and Protek plant cover fabric for the winter.

Is there a framework that could do the triple duty of supporting legumes, animal netting, and plant covers? It would need to be sturdy enough to withstand some wind. If it were attractive, that would be a plus.

Thanks for your suggestions!
