Wire Apron and Plants

[JoieD]

My coup isn't bad looking if I do say so myself, but it kind of sticks out like a sore thumb if you are looking at it from the road. I would like to cover one side with a vine. and place a few other plants around the perimeter. The coop is raised and I have hardware cloth covering the area underneath the coop along with a wire apron going out about 16 inches. What is the best way to plant within the apron. Should I just cut a hole in it an then stake it down around the plant? Anyone have any experience with this problem. I just don't want to do it and then find out there was a better way.
Also, anyone have any experience with Sweet Autumn Clematis? I read on one website it might be poisonous. Thanks

I'm sorry that this doesn't show you how to do it, but this is what I'm picturing when you describe what you're looking for. The first coop on this website is the one I'm thinking of.

Wow Great ideas there. And yes something very close to that is what I'm looking for. Maybe just a bit tidier as my coop is lacking the charm of the one pictured.
