When you cut the bottom strand off the cattle panel to form the ground "spikes", you are left with that long piece. Cut that long piece that you cut off, in half. Now them two halves will serve as the top, and bottom of your "door". When you bend your cattle panel into a "C", you wire them halves to each end of the cattle panel.........am I making sense here?lol
I also buried the leftover carpet along the ground and staked it down to the ground good to disuade any slitherin critters from gettin in there....they still can, but it's more work for the little bastages.
At Home Repot they got the indoor/outdoor carpet on the big bulk rolls, where you just tell them how much you want and they cut it off. They got 2 flavors of it though, you want the stuff with the black backing! It cost more, but it's much more weatherproof, and makes it alot darker inside. The regular green stuff is darn near clear from the inside out.
Also, pick you up a grande bag of 4" zip ties and don't be stingy with'em!
I may be going to Home Depot before the day is over...
