I am about to have new fence put in my garden, which is south facing, the fence in question receives morning sun, and just a little in the afternoon, it now has a huge pyracantha on it, that has grown too big the trunk is huge, and has to be removed, I have an Actinidea that loves it and has grown large, so I am going to keep that, preferably something with winter interest, spring and summer, it is a long fence so could incorparate all three. I do like the berries on the pyracantha and the birds love them too, so could plant another.
A great climber for spring, summer, autmumn and winter is Ampelopsis brevipedunculata. Green foliage til autumn when it turns red. Berries of amazing marbled blue colours persist after the leaves have dropped off.
Passion fruit is evergreen for warmer gardens with stunning flowers and fruit. Vigorous too, so should sover a fence or wall quickly.

You could try honeysuckle, winter jasmine, clematis, Japanese quince lovely flowers and fruit.
You could have a clematis Hagley Hybrid amongst your climbers. If it has morning sun it is very happy and doesn't fade from its lovely warm pink. Its very tough and easy.
Grape, if it really is south facing, but it will need (trellis) support on the fence itself.
