This shot shows several things:
The interior patching of the open areas with old wood scrap only the worms will see. It was an ugly process, and I recomned keeping the top level and planning better for the drop across it. The cardboard, and 1" chicken mess are in place at the base, used brick weighs down the chicken mesh. Plans recommeded extra stakes for spans of 10 feet or more, and we could see the sag on the down hill side. So I used a 2X6 strong tie on each end and used 2x4 studs to pull it together. It was less than admarable, but I did not want to pay for another 2x6. and 2 2x4 strong ties seemed excessive.
