Will creeping fig (Ficus pumila) attach itself to shade cloth which is attached to a wrought iron fence?

The shade cloth is attached to a fence on the east side. Location of yard is in San Diego about one mile inland from the beach. I would like to plant creeping fig and have it eventually cover the whole fence.

Probably. Creeping fig attaches itself to just about any surface through aerial roots. You may have to get the vine started by pining or tying it to the shade cloth, but is should attach and grow from there.
