Then run a strong enough wire to stretch taut along the top and bottom
(of each wire section if it's too short) and tie it to that for
support. Then tie the chicken wire firmly to a post at one corner and
stretch it to the next. Staple it to the posts every two-three
inches. It would be even better to run a horizontal fill-in board but
can get by otherwise. Key is to have it taut and straight so it isn't
"baggy". Means the supporting posts have to be stout enough to hold
some tension or braced.
