Oh Vanessa, that looks great!!
Sorcerormickey, I've grown Black-eyed Susan vines in containers several times, with some sort of vertical structure, usually an upside down tomato cage. They grew approx. 6ft., so I'm not sure if they would be tall enough for what you have in mind.
I think the Morning Glories (as pictured), would be wonderful.
Here is some info on growing vines in containers.
~Vines in Containers
Containers not only allow those without garden space a chance to enjoy the beauty of vines, they permit gardeners in cold regions to cultivate frost-tender species.
If your vine will live in a container, be sure to choose a home that is large and sturdy enough, especially if you're growing a perennial species. Pot, tub, barrel, or box; clay, ceramic, plastic, wood, or metal -- any container will do as long as it has good drainage. A commercial potting mix to which compost and vermiculite (or perlite) has been added is a good growing medium for container vines. Install a support at the same time you plant in the container. If the support is anchored in the soil, be sure the container is heavy enough that it won't capsize when the vine climbs.
Container-grown vines should be watched carefully, as they can become dehydrated quickly on hot, sunny days. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Container-grown vines also need to be fed regularly; use a liquid organic fertilizer applied at half strength. Finally, vines grown in containers require regular pruning and should be repotted every three or four years. Following are species that adapt well to life in pots and tubs.
