Did you tie them together at the top then

First i put in two rows of t posts, a bit less than 8 feet apart. Then i attached welded wire to the posts. I used carbingers to temporarily attach the cattle panels to the welded wire. Then i used pig rings to clamp them on.

Then i put the next panel on. After that i lashed them together with plastic coated wire clothes line. It is all in my thread, "Helpful hints for building coops " Starts around page 91 i think. Still adding details daily.

Hmmmmm. No truck. Van. May have to carry them home on the hood. Thank heavens the local MFA in town has panels and is only 8 miles from home. Should be able to pull it off without a police escort, LOL.

Why do you skin your pumpkins? Just curious. I just whop mine in half and bake them face down. When they're done the skin just comes right off.
