Thanks slinky, I just need something that will fend for itself, scrambling up there to weed, prune and water isn't going to happen, other than periodically spraying the ivy to keep it down……

They look after themselves largely, no pruning required except maybe once a year in the autumn to cut back the dead bits.They self seed and wont require watering.

You can avoid the need to spray ivy by simply cutting it off at the base with a pair of garden shears. Leave it a fortnight and it will die back and it can then be pulled off without damaging the fence.
The other alternative would be to buy some variegated ivy and plant at the base of the fence - allowing it to cover the fence in a year or two.1
