I even posted a diagram on his group's files section, pls check Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:22:51 GMT bgo_1999 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Skyboltbuilders/message/2351 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Skyboltbuilders/message/2351 Jorge, I wasn't able to make good use of the netting I ordered because it was square, not diamonds.
