Code specifies max spacing, and orientation- vertical, not _horizontal_
like some idiot did with tubafors back when on my porch. Your local

Before the code change, that was very common. The 4" spacing takes more
wood and takes away from the view in many cases.

Use chicken wire (in a sturdy wood frame) and paint the wire flat black
with a roller.

It looks a lot better than it sounds; it's effective, it lasts forever,
and it's cheaper.
