This one shows the braces we used on top and the metal thingies we used on the corner Laughing     braces       

This was an oopsie (my fault *sigh*    chip       

The back end, as you can see one side is covered and the other is enclosed with chicken wire and then hardware cloth.  Take no chances!! (anyone know if I can electrifiy that for a bit of extra naughtyness for the coons?) 

 some siding on    back shot 

The front of the coop.  It is covered by 1/2inch hardware cloth doublestapled all the way around, and yes those are ties you see holding the two halves together.  Noone said this wasn't a redneck coop Money mouth

I would not advise electrifying the hexagonal wire, but there are insulators you can buy & attach them to the outside of the coop so that when the coons comes around they get a "shocking" revelation.
most any farm supply store would carry them...this is one that comes to mind.
