    Do like the size thou... and the protection.. I do have a cattle panel I could use.. I could look into the wheels.. I read further and one person can move..

    Dealing with a killer Great Horned Owl -- any tips?

    Also - what hardware cloth do folks use? Are there different types (gauges) or is all hardware cloth the same? IE - Do I just get any hardware cloth at the hardware store - or am I looking for a specific gauge?? . Ps - I know to avoid the chicken wire... etc.. Thanks -Kate

    Dealing with a killer Great Horned Owl -- any tips?
