And this post. Good luck!
Hello Polly,
Use 4 x corner bends and 4 x straight pieces to make a square/oblong shape and stretch the wire around one end and secure and take to far end of panel cut and secure as before. Repeat for each panel required. Don't make the panels too long otherwise it will not be strong. It can also work running the chichen wire from top to bottom. Secure Posts in the ground with either Concrete mix or Metposts and attach the panels with long screws or bolts and wing nuts or washers.
For a different look replace the Chicken wire with either Plastic Netlon (comes in White-Brown or Green) or Stretch trellis.
Polly: maybe this will help

A caution with these good ideas. PVC is easy to work with, but it is also very photosensitive so be sure to prime and then paint it to protect it from the sun. Otherwise it will soon become dull looking and brittle. This is also easy and can make it 'stand out' or 'blend into' the surrounding flora.
