Orchard windshield

If the weather is bad here it's either because there is a huge amount of rain, or a very strong wind from the hills. Or both. Not nice for young trees in our orchard, nor for the bougainvillea in the fence. Actually, the bougainvillea in the fence is there to keep the wind out, and prying eyes. But, with so much wind the bougainvilleas grow less fast than wanted, so: a windshield. 3 rolls of 1.5x10 meters mesh, attached to the wire mesh with nylon binders and metal rings. The metal rings as to not tear the mesh. When it's windy, yes.

We'll ask our constructor to add some metal poles at 45º, to make the fence stronger. Else it may blow over..
