Hello fellow chickeneeres,
I am almost done with my new coop and I have a question in regards to attaching the hardware cloth. I reviewed many previous post here in regards to the poultry staple (basically galvanized U shaped nail) vs. washers and screws. While I totally understand how the staples are not too secure towards a predator trying to push the mesh in, here is my question.
If I attach the hardware cloth with staples and then screw in a 1x2 board over the top for aesthetic reason will this be good? I am thinking the screws used to attach the 1 x 2 will be a second layer of protection.
Thanks for the help in advance!
