Attaching hardware cloth for the run.

Hello did you use plastic or steel zip ties?

Heavy duty Plastic

Heavy duty Plastic

Ok. I ask bc that’s all we have on for now in a small section so we could get started. They are heavy duty. I ordered some steel ones that are on the way. I’m just worried about predators being able to chew them apart. I have them on my brooder to attach the the hardware cloth and so far my dog and cat has attempted to chew on them but have been unsuccessful We have lots of coyotes, raccoons, and occasional mountain lions

I ran mine horizontal. 4ft. Put 2x6 horizontally between posts every 4ft. 2x4s would work fine too. Used medium to large staples. Type that is hammered in.
Also bottom section is about 3ft, giving a foot of skirting if you don't want to do a full 4 ft of skirt. I had enough left over I overlapped for 4ft of skirting.

This is awesome! Hubby is doing posts now. I did order the critterfence and it hasn't arrived yet. Thank you
