I've recently been looking into doing a DIY fence with them, I live in Mesa and sometimes have some sketchy folks eyeballing my patio. I have found some on offer up, you can also purchase them at Home Depot... at least the one in Mesa Riverview. I'm wondering if heavy duty chain mail cutting gloves could protect from the thorns while I make a panel of them. Then I'd like to have a vine of some sort sprawling all over them.

You can purchase premade panels from here www.sonoranocotillo.com
