Good advice there, eh?  Safety glasses are marginal, goggles are OK (but
fog up), a full face shield and hearing protection are good for a metal chop
saw.   Do *not* breathe the fumes from cutting galvanized steel.  Even worse
if someone's welding the stuff.
You can use any  steel wire heavy enough to drive into straw that you have
laying around (or salvage) for pins- 14 ga, 12 ga, 10 ga...galvanized should
be used for exterior, especially down low where rain may hit the wall.  Make
'em longer (9"+ after bending into a U) if you need more holding power.
