Where can I buy poles to grow pole lima beans

To use a straight pole, I know it must be between 6′ and 8′ tall, but how do you run the string so that the beans can run between the poles? I live in the Greensboro-Winston Salem, NC area.

For a straightforward set-up as you described, you would use strong twine tied between two poles. The string is zigzagged from the top and bottom to make a lattice for the vines.

Here are some visuals on how to string up pole beans, there are many clever ways to do so:
