Now that the frame is together, it is time to install the hardware cloth. If you opted to use screen, the process would be nearly identical.
Place the frame face down. Fit one of the finished edges of the hardware cloth against the frame (inside the L-shaped piece for me). Staple in place with double staples at the corner and staples every 4-inches. Gently pull tight as you staple.
Staple across the top, again gently pulling the hardware cloth tight.
Using the nippers (or heavy scissors), cut the other side to fit. Trim off any short bits that are too long or cause wrinkles.
Staple along the other long side then the bottom, gently pulling the hardware cloth tight.
At this point, you still have to be gentle with the panel - next, I reinforced the corners to make the panels more sturdy.
