Dog Proof Coop?

[all4birds]

I've read a lot of posts on this forum in the last few months trying to come up with a coop design I like that is safe. I'm building a "dog-possum-raccoon-snake-etc." proof coop now (I hope I thought of everything). Horse panel is the only thing I know of that is strong enough to keep out large dogs. I'm using horse panel for the sides attached to T-posts. Horse panel is 1/4" thick welded wire and comes in panels that are 4" high and 16' long. The hole size is 2" x 4". Nothing can chew through this wire, my husband had to use a grinder to cut it. The pen size is 12' x 16'. I'm burying 18" of 1/4 inch hardware cloth outside the coop and then going up the inside of the panels to the top. The roof will be supported with wood and it will have a lighter weight welded wire covered in hardware cloth over it. Shade will be from aluminum roofing panels attached to the top.

Hopefully this will protect the girls from predators.
