We are using pre-fabricated drip line with emitters which emit at a rate we chose for our crops. If we drilled the holes ourselves they likely would just spray the water, which our son would like but probably not the crops!
Nice. Did you guys bend those cattle fences yourself, or they came like that? My local Tractor Supply has 16x5 cattle fence. Folks typically do a soft round bend to get them in the back of a pickup, but that puts lots of pressure on the sides of your bed and would scratch up my bed cover rails. I might try to bend them like you guys have done before putting them in back of my tacoma.👍
These are 16ftx50in panels from TSC, we laid them down on the ground, placed a 2x4 in the center of the panel, stood on the 2x4 and pulled the panel up into a right angle (Equal sides, 90 degree bend). We then placed the 2x4 about 2ft down from the 90deg bend and crimped the panel over 45 degrees, repeating for the other side. It was quite easy with 2 people but would be pretty difficult alone. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!

Nice setup! Are you usiing 1/2 inch drip tubing with the emitters inside or did you drill your oan holes in the tubing?

How did you shape them like that?
