Time for another update:
I finally got the 3t netting!
Tomorrow, I plan to go to Lowes and buy all of the wood.
Then on Saturday, I will head out to Tractor supply and pick up the mesh. I need to double-check my notes, but 1/4" hardware cloth or 1 inch welded wire mesh was recommended on the forum, so i will look at both at the store and figure out which one to get. I was leaning more towards the welded wire. Price isn't a big deal. I'm just not sure if there is a big difference between the two as far as pros and cons. If anyone has anything to add about both, let me know. I'll try to reread what i copied from several threads i read over the past 2 weeks, though.
After we pick up the wood, I plan to paint it and then once all that is finished, I will call the guy to come out and put it all together for me.
I am still planning to have him just build the frame and walls/wire and then i will later hang the netting on top from the inside which will be a cinch. I'll also later dig out the floor and put in the rocks and dirt and then after that figure out about any plants or grass.
I have a place picked out for the pebbles and dirt, so the question will only be how little/much do i have to buy from them.
Anyways, that is the plan so far.
