As Obelixx says - there are lots of lovely herbaceous clems, but you don't need a huge amount of skill to make a simple structure for a standard climbing one. Would you be able to get someone to put in a few posts? Then it wouldn't take much to get a basic frame on them - as Obelixx suggests. Battens can be attached with nails if you can't manage the screws
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

@moragb1, I think clematis on the ground could be nectar to slugs and snails, though as Obelixx says there are herbaceous ones that scramble. You could think about the small metal border fences about 1ft high that come in sections - they just push into the ground so really easy. Or small wooden stakes with rope swags between them. I am assuming you've discounted the usual obelisks?
We've made a fair number of treliss' from builders laths which are 8 feet 2.4 metres. We don't screw ours they are nailed and as a previous poster said if you're staining it do that first. We make a square or an oblong the size we want then place the laths in one direction first ie vertical or horizontal and nail top and bottom Use a bit of wood cut to size say 8in to keep the gaps even, then do the other direction nailing at the cross. Hope I've explained that.
