Hi there,
I've been reading various threads on this but can't quite figure it out. We're predator-proofing our run and trying to figure out what to do with the floor. It seems like there are number of options - could you tell me what you think the pros/cons of each are? I already bought a bunch of hardware cloth. Here's what I can see as our options:
Thank you for any advice!

I've been reading various threads on this but can't quite figure it out. We're predator-proofing our run and trying to figure out what to do with the floor. It seems like there are number of options - could you tell me what you think the pros/cons of each are? I already bought a bunch of hardware cloth. Here's what I can see as our options:
- Have the HC as the floor of the coop and have it run about a foot around the perimeter as an apron - keep it down with those hard steeple/staple things.
- Have the HC as the floor of the coop and have the edges curl up and attach to the walls, making a "bathtub" type thing.
- Dig the HC down around the perimeter a foot.
- Don't have HC on the run of the coop but do an apron or digging.
Thank you for any advice!
