I've read through a number of threads including a couple that reference older threads, and have gotten a lot of info. I still have a few questions though. I already have a coop and run, and the run was built with wire walls too large to be predator proof. I have "galvanized for durability" (that's all the label says about the galvanized nature) 1/2" HC of 19 gauge. I wanted to replace the old wire walls, but on most of the run that will be impossible since I would have to tear the building apart to do so. I guess I would have to just wrap the walls over the existing wire with the new stuff and make my apron. Also, I looked for steeples but couldn't find 1 1/4", so I got some 3/4" of 14 gauge. Is the gauge of the 1/2" HC too thin? Are the size and gauge of the steeples too weak? I've included a pic of the steeples (which are actually labeled "fence staples") to be sure I've got the right type of product, at least. If you click on the image, you'll see the product description. (No bears, but raccoons, bobcats, snakes, coyotes, hawks. In 5 or 6 yrs, nothing has gotten in- or tried to push in- except snakes and mice, but last year I saw raccoon prints right outside the run one night. But I'm just trying to be prepared for anything.)
