Building the Frame

• 1). Lay two of your 2-by-4 wood posts on the ground, perpendicular from one another. Next, lay a third post on top of the two perpendicular posts so that the ends of the top post rest on top of the perpendicular posts.
  
  
• 2). Insert three 3-inch galvanized screws into the top post where it rests on the perpendicular post, using your drill. Move to the adjacent perpendicular post and repeat this process.
  
  
• 3). Insert one eye hook at the bottom inside corner of each of the perpendicular posts.
  
  
• 4). Cut a piece of heavy-gauge galvanized wire with wire cutters so that you can connect it from one eye hook to the other. This will allow for more stability in the frame, and it also gives you a place to attach your netting at the bottom.
  
  

Constructing the Netting

• 1). Insert eye hooks every 6 inches on the inside of the top and bottom posts. Using wire cutters or scissors, cut your fishing line, galvanized wire or twine in 4 1/2-foot sections. Go on to Step 2. If you are using chicken wire or snow fencing, use a staple gun with galvanized staples and staple the netting over the frame. Once this is complete, skip steps 2 and 3 and move on to Step 4.
  
  
• 2). Tie a knot with the wire around one eye hook and pull it taut, knotting it around the eye hook perpendicular to it on the adjacent post. Connect the string to the eye hooks on the bottom posts first. When you are finished, move on to the top post.
  
  
• 3). Knot each piece of wire through the eye hooks on the top post and pull them taut until you are able to knot them around the stabilizing wire at the bottom of the frame. When you are finished, you will end up with 6-inch square netting covering the frame.
  
  
• 4). Dig a 2-foot deep hole with a post-hole digger and place your first post inside. Four feet across from that post, dig another hole and place the other post inside. Fill the holes with dirt and pat down.
