Some of you may remember we strung up pond netting from deck to fence

I have had a foot of snow on my netting before I knocked it off! The
Unsupported part of the netting really hung low; but it did not
break! It was attached to strong supports and the top supports kept
the whole net from hanging down as a whole! I later added strong wire
supports from the pole ends you see on the top and attached them from
the end to 3 spread out places on the opposite wall!:
