The chicken wire was incidental - it was to keep the compost in not the canes up.

It's just canes in the ground with horizontal canes interwoven. Our plot is very windy and it's fine. Put a vertical cane every meter and the horizontal canes the same and the weave strengthens it.

OK, I'll try it. I can't believe it's strong enough, but if you say it works then it must do thanks
