I will check out the site.
I do believe there is a way to make it work. I'm going to experiment this year and look to do the installation for next season.
I do still need to do something for this year and although a little off topic, looking into bamboo fencing, cut down to 12" height.
Renewable, plentiful, inexpensive, attractive, sturdy. Might just do the trick with a little installation ingenuity.
Thanks for the info and let me know if you want to know how it turns out.
