How to make it:

1. Mount four 5-in. square wood blocks, one for each corner, to a strong fence using wood screws.

2. Attach a loop hook to each wood block.

3. Hang each corner of a sheet of welded remesh (typically used for reinforcing concrete and sold in 3 1/2- by 7-ft. sheets) over a loop hook.

4. Follow the video below to complete the project.
