Growing honeysuckle and montanas on a shared trellis. What to do?

@Obelixx noted that after a few years montanas can turn into birds nests
with tangled, dead, brown material. Can I ask how you all handle that
if it's growing on a party fence? 🥂 I planted several montanas and
loads of honeysuckle planted on a shared, shady trellis. The honeysuckle was a
mistake and looks like a brown mass of dead twigs at eye level as it's all grown up and towards the better light. I think
the montanas will turn into a problem too. I can just about keep my side
looking ok, ish, but I'm aware that on my neighbour's side it looks
horrendous. That was not the idea at all. We are good friends and I go
over to his place a couple of times a year to clear things up (he's not a
gardener). Are honeysuckle and clems just not a good idea on a shared
fence or trellis? I'm starting to think so.
Both the montanas and HS have served their purpose, which was to create a green, fast growing screen between the two houses, but still, have created problems. Your thoughts on this are appreciated.
