Hi Haley and welcome to GoY. If you mean for growing beans and peas up they are still used in Scotland. Could you elaborate your question a little please.

Monty in the Gardeners World Magazine here in the UK was using them in the April edition.

There are some amazing wooden ones in a few places in Scotland used as holiday accommodation… not actually stayed in one myself.

I would go for a tepee... More spacious.

I use them for runner beans but don't plant on the north side as they won't grow there.

prefer to grow beans in a wigwam rather than in a row if that is the question

A wigwam of peasticks is effective for sweetpeas. They look a bit untidy until the sweetpeas grow up, but there are plenty of twiglets for them to hold on to. They make a splash of colour and some height to a bare patch in the border.
I have also used wigwams of beanpoles for runner beans. A very firm wigwam of beanpoles will also support a climbing rose to good effect.
