    What kind of netting should be used? The lightweight stuff or something more beefy like snow fence?

    I also will have to put a top net on due to living in Indiana and the amount of red tailed Hawks we have here is crazy. Sometimes we see 3 and 4 of them flying around our property at one time. Sounds like your set up is exactly what I am wanting here.
