I am building a box 2×2×4' so I can cover my strawberries. I'm not sure what is eating them, as it happens at night. There are opposums, raccoons, skunks, and my least favorite rats. There are also birds but I doubt they are doing it at night. Something has also sheared off all the leaves on my potato plants like they were cut with a razor at an angle. That kind of biting of plants I've never seen before. I don't know about opossum teeth but if rats are doing it they must be sharpening their teeth during the day. It looks as if someone took cuttings but that's impossible
Question I put some chicken wire around my ac that’s goes on the floor of the outside of my house what screws or nails do I use to go into the stucco on my house to hold the chicken wire
@AnnoyedCricketHelmet-em5ix if it's masonry behind the stucco, use tapcon or a masonry anchor screw. If it's wood frame, use wood screw. But I would screw a treated 2 x 4 to the stucco and then attach wire to the 2 x 4
That is for diagonal bracing to hold the frame square. It is galvanized electric fence wire, I think 12 guage. You can use anything similar. Or wood slats , but wire is lighter.
Ya I was going to sat to shore up the framing and was probably put on before the chicken wire. If it isn't square, it will square it by tightening the right end.
This video isn’t getting the recognition it deserves! Most helpful one I’ve seen yet !
Thanks! Just wanted to help folks.
I got a headache not sure how to secure my chicken wire fast and safe, until I saw your video, thank you so much
You're welcome. Glad I could help
I wish i had seen this video a couple weeks ago. It looks a whole lot simpler than what i did. Thank you.
i was told a nail gun would be strong enough, but this method looks so much easier and secure, ty!
You're welcome. Thank you for the comment.
Man that was informative, to the point, and fast. You are who many others should use as a sample format. Nice
I just tried your technique.
I wish I knew this before.
It is great. You can adjust it anytime and remove it if needed.
I'm glad I could help. Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you sir for showing the proper way to stretch chicken wire, short and sweet

Is the whole 2x4 structure just sits on the ground or is it affixed to the ground in some way?
I wish I saw this before I installed my chicken wire…. Lol. Can’t win ‘em all
There's always next time 😊

What is the wire that is running diagonally?
That is for diagonal bracing to hold the frame square. It is galvanized electric fence wire, I think 12 guage. You can use anything similar. Or wood slats , but wire is lighter.

How did you stretch it horizontally?
I made another video to explain. Hope it helps!

@@TysonHoneyFarm Thanks a lot!
How far apart are your roofing nails?
The nails are approximately 8 to 10 inches apart.
One more question. How much of a vertical stretch can you get? Looks like you are stretching down about an inch or 1 1/2”?
