    Squaring hardware cloth

    I would make my picture frames shoot together with trim nailer, rack frame to match hardware cloth, secure hardware cloth at 4 corners, then rack frame back to sq and secure cloth in-between corner, then drill and screw frame corners. A pipe clamp works nice for re-racking.
