Will this fence work for snow peas?

I am growing two rows of Oregon Sugar Pod II Peas. It is about that time for them to grab onto something and I was wondering if orange snow / barrier fencing would work? After looking at the posts about trellises I did not happen to see any kind of fencing like this.

My main concern is the amount of shade it might provide? The holes in the fence are 2 7/8" X 1 5/8" with the fence being 1/4". The rows run north-south so I am concerned that the fence with the addition of the pea leaves will not let enough light through to the ones that are on the east side

of the fence.

Photos of potential plan below.

So ... with all or your experience would it be advisable to use this fence or opt for something else that might let more light through?

Thanks
