A layer of forest moss was positioned on surface of the potting soil and after that a person inch hen wire was positioned through the entire panel retained by attaching the edges for the plywood edge. You will also need to wire the rooster wire both on the cabinets or in the direction of the plywood panel wires to sustain your "facial area" from bulging out when the panel is positioned upright.
