Probably a dumb question - i`ve got some on order following some little
barstewards stealing some (quite large) items from our garden - the
intention is to use galvanised wire to try to tie the panels together to
prevent them being lifted as easily - "binding" them by running the wire
across many panels and tacking in place, so one can`t be lifted because
its "tied" to both adjacent panels.

I`ve got a stack of wire staples, i`m awaiting the wire from screwfix,
but i`m not sure how you`re supposed to get the wire taught :-}

That's "taut". :-)
I'd have thought you don't want much tension in the wire, as it won't
be running straight but kinking around each fence post. Might be
easier to use a screw eye at each side of each panel, and a short
length of wire to join them, or just use bits of galvanized
perforated strip with a couple of screws in each end.
