Okay - thanks for the answer, much appreciated! I think I’m going the ‘tape over sharp edges’ route for now ... quickest & easiest for me, cheapest, too. I’ll just have to deal with replacing the tape at some point in the future, but it’s not critical to maintaining the integrity of the panel, just a ‘safety’ item. The good news is that I do not have to worry about the stainless ties ‘breaking’ every year, like the plastic ones would do.
As for the wire panels instead of plastic mesh panels overall, I really like how they’re turning out ... stiffer & sturdier for sure and even with the tape, they look a heck of a lot neater than the old mesh panels.

Yes, some of the colors clash, but they're all just for my own enjoyment and cutting and colors coordinate with various rooms in the house. One of these years we're going to get REALLY ambitious and have a huge SWATH of tulips and daffs just for cutting and sharing.
