Great start but not good for keeping all predators out. 1/2 inch hardware cloth will.

Nope it’s not good for keeping predators.

Nope it’s not good for keeping predators.

Why do you think that?
I use it on my coop and run and nothing has ever gained access. I deal with opossums, raccoons, fisher cats, coyote, fox, the neighbors rotten dogs, bobcats and black bears. I also back up with an electric fence but in the winter when it gets grounded by snow and has to be shut down, I've seen predator tracks in the pen that houses the setup. Nothing has gotten in.
