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 :-}

Taut? You need a fencers "turfer" - a chain ratchet tightening device
as used by fence contractors. You will also need to brace the end
posts or the wire will slacken as it pulls the posts inwards
