I'd love to see that. Would you mind posting a photo of the different fencing, apron, etc. close up?

Sorry, Stumpy, I should have said, "I will be building. . . ." I can promise you pics by January, and the fence will be first done.

I've done it before, though, and it worked very very well. Lay the 2x4 wire over the hog panel, tack it with zip ties, then use nylon string to "crochet" it neatly onto the panel. I used green nylon string, and it was downright decorative.

Hog panel, by the way, is only three feet high, but for my little bantam chicken tractor it will be more than enough. One 16 foot panel will make two sides six feet long, one end four feet wide, and the open end will lock onto the coop.

The hardware cloth apron will be a new thing for me, since I learned about it here on BYC.
