Step 4 Cut the hardware cloth

Using a wire cutter, or angle grinder if you don't want to cut each one, cut the hardware cloth to the length and width of your frame. Don't cut it so big that it extends beyond the edge of your frame, but don't cut it too short otherwise you wont be able to fasten it. The wood is about 2" thick so you have some leeway to work with. I cut my hardware cloth to about 21" square.
