Has anyone used rolled livestock fence to make trellises....?

BirdsongNC · January 7, 2013

I am planning on using wire fencing as a trellis material for tomato plants. My local hardware store does not carry cattle panels (plus I couldn't fit them in my short bed pickup if they did

). What is available is concrete remesh panels 4ftx7ft and rolled livestock fencing. The remesh is not galvanized so it will be an option of last resort. I have never dealt with livestock fence so I dont know how unruly it will be and if it can be spread flat with out using any special tools. If you have any experience with using rolled fence your wisdom would be greatly appreciated!!!
