A layer of forest moss was put on floor of the potting soil then 1 inch rooster wire was placed throughout the whole panel retained by attaching the edges to the plywood edge. Additionally, you will must wire the chicken wire both for the shelves or toward the plywood panel wires to sustain the "encounter" from bulging out if the panel lies upright.
