What height pole is best for sweet peas (veggies, not the flower) & sugar snap peas?

would 4' be ok or do I need taller?

I've always used about 4' high poles, and they've worked well. Usually I put out several poles and run string between them so the peas will have somewhere to vine if they want to spread out more.
Reply:Four feet should be just about right. I'm 5 feet tall, and the gardens I've seen have plants that are shorter than me by a foot or so (I don't have space for a veggie garden, unfortunately, as I'm in an apartment), so 4 feet sounds about right :-)
