They will only be free ranging on weekends and maybe an hour or so on week nights. I'm going to put more interesting plants inside the fence for them. I don't think they will destroy it all, or maybe I am being naive!!

For the summer I was thinking of taking the window out and putting hardware cloth over it for ventilation. Can you open yours? And does your roof prop open? I am not quite sure of the purpose of that.
