| How large an area are you wanting to enclose? And from what pests? Different varmints require different structures. Something like the above appears far to small to be of much practical use.

Everything from low.high tunnels to simple PVC pipe arches covered with insect barrier or chicken wire to structures made from bird netting/plastic deer fencing to sturdy wood frameworks enclosed in screening, sunshade cloth, or fencing. Just avoid the use of any plastic sheeting as the trapped heat, especially in your location, can quickly kill the plants. Dave |
