Trying to do this once and correct. Do you overlap the cattle panels just a bit or do you but them up to each other?

I didn’t overlap because that makes one panel stick up more and the plastic cover can tear or wear on the area.

Butt them up, don’t overlap.

Mine are butted up next to each other and I zip tie them to reduce movement.

Definitely no overlap! Just butt them, together, and Zip Tie/Wire them together…

No overlap. I'm also thinking a 2" x 8" multi laminated center main beam resting on end walls c/w some vertical posts at least at 1/4 points down the length might serve to stiffen it up considerably.

I have a vertical garden, similar. I used t post to wire tie too and overlapped my panes one square.. If you overlap you need to set every other panel and then lay one over between the two or your panels won't lay right they will kinda telescope if that makes sense.

I over lapped mine and used cable ties to lock them together. but mine is 8x12 due to being in a patio home.
