The next step is to insert two 16' cattle panels across the 10' area with each end of the panel inside the t-posts. Overlap each cattle panel approximately 6" at the center. This will result in a smooth arc approximately 5' high.

Secure the cattle panels to the t-posts at the base. I use bailing wire for this, but you can use whatever method you want as long as it's secure and can handle any wind load that might come up.


Next, tie the cattle panels together at the centers with bailing wire or cable ties. I'm using black cable ties in the photo below - these are quick, simple, and work great. I tie them at one foot intervals. Just make sure that the center of the hut is secure and that the two panels will not come apart easily.
