Growing on the chain link fence is your best option and if wanting something nicer for the entrance and overhead trellis, I'd opt for a wood structure, but be sure to use a quality wood that is rot resistant and low maintenance like Spanish Cedar, Teak or Redwood.

Going with something of lesser quality and you'll have fits replacing parts, or all of it in the future once the vines take over if it starts to rot or fall apart.

Biggest reason I'm considering sticking with the chain link is that the rest of our yard fencing is chain link. I have too much yard to convert every bit of it into wood when it works perfectly fine. I know my neighbor wouldn't be the biggest fan, but we have a chain link between us that isn't covered up by plants, and maybe someday I'd like to have another vining plant beautify the chain link.

I've considered doing a pergola with a gate, but not entirely sure how it would look when paired with a chain link fence, even if the fence is eventually covered in jasmine head to toe.
