After much searching I lucked out and managed to find about enough hardware cloth in stock (but dear lord it was not cheap) to build a decent sized open air coop. I've noticed that people seem to prefer using screws and washers rather than fence staples. I have two questions: 1) is there a specific type of screw/washer that does better considering there is metal contact/possible corrosion issues? 2) screws/washers seems like it would be fairly expensive, would fence staples with an extra board of wood protecting them from prying claws be just as good as screws/washers?
