True tho that 14ga 2x4 will stand on it's own pretty good,
especially with bends or curves.
How far does that fence extension go?

Ya, you got me. I have this one on the end fastened to the 4x4 for a start place. it goes down to the corner in the photo and then another 50 feet or so. There is an "interrupt" where the woman gate is and it continues to the corner. It works great! There is also one spot that I put a bamboo plant state in for support. Other than those two there are no supports.

I'm not sure of the size of your small back yard. If you just want to be sure to keep chickens in (and hawks out) I recommend aviary netting to cover the back yard. Aviary netting (about $50 for 50' by 50' piece, Amazon) keeps your birds safe from hawks and will completely prevent escapes (some do manage to fly over even a 6' fence). I installed it to protect my ducks from hawks. (It does not protect against raccoons and things that can chew through it; my dog protects against those dangers since they can run around the coop and pens.) The netting can be held up by a PVC pipe framework or any other simple framework, or even wires strung between trees. This may or may not be what you need, but it does work well to keep birds in. It is also very lightweight and sturdy.

Do you have pics of your pvc framework? I'm needing to put netting over my run keep from hawks I can't for the life of me figure out how to make it high enough so I can walk under
