Well, this is awkward.  I don't have photos of the starting materials or the project partway through the build.  But I think it's likely that I invented this style of fence, built/proved it works and started the two threads about it.  So, can that count as enough proof that I built this one?

I used two and a half sections of 150' long remesh so it's well over the 200 foot criteria.  Below is a satellite image of the field it is partially encompassing.  Here's a picture from one corner (looking west):


Here's one of it pretty much done.  It's looking East from the SW end point and you can see it going around the field:

On grounds of you being the inventor, I hereby certify that this badge bit is complete!

 
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was a tiny ad.
