    What about climber plants grown to height of 2m? Are they also going to be too heavy?



    I will need multiple plantsto cover 2m height by 6m width. Probably I can cover mesh with some tent material for instant coverage while the climbers are growing

    It's not the weight of the plants - it's the weight of the containers full of damp loamy compost which can be very heavy.  You need to consult a structural engineer if you don't already know the load-bearing capability of the roof terrace.
