I'd like to add that just stapling the hardware cloth may not be enough; we added wood strips screwed into the framing over top.
The entire coop is on an old workshop foundation, a huge bonus. Not stained yet, but very functional. For winter, we attached plastic sheeting six feet up on the open walls. Great ventilation and weather protection. Mary
Now that is nice and secure!!
The bulk of my hardware cloth is not stapled but is secured as you mention...however the parts that are stapled over the openings are also electrified, so THAT should be enough! I know, new concept, taught to me by our local state bear expert.
Good point... I need to add in case anyone is looking...unless you are being artistic with electric fencing, screw with washers or secure as mentioned above the hardware cloth...
