Thanks, Look171 - the contractor I talked to mentioned post stability. His idea is to
[1] ensure the 4x4 posts are well bolted to the rim
[2] add 1x8 at the bottom in between the posts - tight fit to brace them
[3] put 2x4's horizontal in in between the posts at the top - again, a tight fit

The existing long 2x12 top 'rail' will remain.

How does the above sound to you?



I should have thought of hog fencing myself - a neighbor has that as their fence. Are those powder coated?
