This project was done over a period of about 6 weeks. It was very slow going because of the HOT 100degree days and alot of slow details.
At first the chicken wire is very loose , but as we stretched and nailed , it became very tight.
Against the building we had to raise the wall with a facade of tin to let the building appear to be taller and we decided to put in a window for ventilation for the end cage. The posts were painted to match the building color, this made the posts disappear.
The top chicken wire is stretched first. We started from the building , attaching the side closest to the building first by laying the wire on the first section and temporarily tacking the wire over the area to be covered. Inching our way along pulling and stretching the wire tight with each nail. The next section was laid on the first section , tacked down along the side closest to the building first (because we could reach it) and then flipped into position onto the second section where it was nailed down on the opposite side.
The top perlins were set next, defining the height at eight feet.
Here we planned the scope of the project, deciding on the width and length of each cage. We set the poles against the building as the starting point and extended the other poles out from there.
