Hey Guys,
We're getting ready to put up our run, and I can't seem to dig up any clear directions online. We have metal chicken wire and green metal stakes. Mostly what I've been trying to figure out is how far apart to place the stakes to keep the wire secure, and whether or not I really ought to have something that runs along to top of the stakes. Something like 2x2s, to keep the stakes from pulling together and the wire taught, or will the stakes be fine on their own? Our wire is 4' high.
Any other tips, tricks, or advice for someone who's never done anything like this before would be really appreciated, as well. Anything you may have wished to know before you started.
Thanks!
