Apples... but which form?

Morning All,i have almost finished building the veg garden area and half way through constructing the perimeter fence. It’s 70cm high and 3.5m wide in this section and I was thinking of training an apple into it by forming a planting bed in front of the sleeper. What form would be best? I thought a step over, but would I have enough height for a double step over? I would love an e a palier but not enough height here I think. How wide would a step over be- it would ease my need for symmetry that it would fill a good part of that width if not all eventually- is this dependent on rootstock? What do you think? It’s west facing so gets a good amount of sun- soil is awful but would dig out and improve.
