8" or so, if that and because it's quite exposed they keep getting knocked down again.

I use a mix of imperial and metric - metric at work, imperial when I'm cooking/baking and whichever is most convenient at the time anywhere else.
As for my beans, my dwarf french are 2.5 ft and my runners are just under 7 ft (stopped at that height as any higher would make harvest very difficult).

Most of my runners are between 3-4ft but with this wind I'm afraid they've not got many leaves and the few remaining ones left are in tatters!
My borlotti beans are at a standstill around 10inch - leaves are yellow. Half of my french beans are out and bent or broken so I'm keeping my back ups inside until the wind calms

Highest Runner is now over 8 feet... not sure whats going on with it but you can look at it in the morning, then and night and you can see the difference. I have about 3 others over 6 feet and then the rest are between 2 and 4 feet.
French beans... about 1.5 feet, had ones higher but they died after a battering of wind.

My best beans are the butterbeans, 3ft tall. The best runners are 18", and the best French are about 10" : and all the plants are spindlier, weaker, than they ought to be. Absolutely terrible, I've never known a year like it.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.

My runners are around a foot up the poles, or snail food.
My french beans are perhaps 6 inches if I count the raised loo rolls they are in.
My dwarf ones are not much better and also feeding the snails.
I tend to estimate lengths and weigh ingredients in imperial but do most other things in metric out of habit from teaching Physics.
