A layer of forest moss was added to top of the potting soil then 1 inch chicken wire was put across the complete panel retained by attaching the perimeters to the plywood edge. Additionally, you will need to wire the chicken wire both to the cabinets or in direction of the plywood panel wires to keep the "encounter" from bulging out once the panel is positioned upright.
