Step 3Wrap the Mesh
Wrapping the wire around the barrels shouldn't be very hard at all.
1. Simply roll the wire out and around the barrel until the ends meet. Bind them with stray bits of wire (paper clips will do) and gently push down until it is slightly set in the ground and stable.
2. Don't worry if your wire doesn't come all the way to the top of the barrel. Eventually your plants will grow up along the upper edge and fill it out. Until then you can place potted plants with overhanging tendrils on top of the barrel to hide the wire at the top.
3. Make sure you allow your spigot and other fixtures to peek out of the wire so they remain accessible.
4. Attach your own garden hose or hoses to one or both of the overflow fittings to direct any overflow away from the tank and structures.
