Default how high please

I have some climbing beans called COBRA nowhere on packet does it tell me how tall they will be, and i need to organise supports for them. Help. By the way in south devon spring has sprung and we are trying to keep pace with the sudden change in temperature. Last week it was blowing gales and freezing, now its like a mini heatwave.

They tend to get high, depending on weather they can really go for it, I put up bamboo wigwams of 5'-6' and they cover it totally by late August.
