It definitely makes me nervous, and, frankly, I was a bit embarrassed to admit I had to do it, but the pen situation just wasn\'t working, so they\'re loose until I can finish running the electric out to the pens and keep fans on them. Kicking myself for not already having it done - I need about a month of 8-day weeks, each w/48-hour days, to catch up on uncompleted projects...
Snow isn\'t much of a factor here, although it did snow one day last winter, but I still like the welded wire idea. I have the military variety camo leaf netting for shade, but the welded wire would help support it so it doesn\'t sag down so much.
