   Probably the concrete reinforcing comes big enough.  If not get two
at 3 ft. Take top and bottom wire off.  Use one side to curl around the
other piece making one @ 6 ft.  Once formed in a square it should be
pretty rugged.  A little more wire bending and you might make walls that
when joined could still fold for storage.
