Farm Vlog 6: Building the outside run on my chicken coop

What happens here

After assembling the wooden frame, a roll of green, vinyl-coated 16-gauge wire mesh with 2x3 inch mesh size is unrolled over the frame. The wire mesh is then secured to the wooden frame using a staple gun. The creator advises against stretching the wire too much to avoid distortion and then snips off any excess wire with wire snips.

Goal: Secure wire mesh to the panel frame.
