but exposed to the sun all day fishing line will get brittle and break. You will have to replace it sooner rather than later. Why not try chicken wire? you can get a fine mesh to keep out smaller critters, too. Watch the sales at the big home supply centers. It can be very inexpensive and can be used with the same steel stakes shown in the video.
