Hardware Cloth Pop Door - Would it work?

[Chicks4MyFamily]

I was thinking of making a pop door out of hardware cloth and framing the outside so that it could slide easily in my tracks. I was hoping to use it during warmer weather to keep the air flowing - anyone see any "con" to this idea?

I think I may try this during the hot weather!!

As long as you make it strong and can secure it against a raccoon's dexterous hands, I'd say it should work well. Not a bad idea at all, especially in this atrocious heat.

As long as it has a lock, without it a racoon could lift it easily.

I agree the main issue is racoons breaking through, What I did is make a permenent screen door. I used 2x4 inch wire from TSC and built a wood frame door. The bottom 12 inches is plywood for racoon and predetor guard and the lock is up real high. The lock is a hook and eye. Chicken coop screen door on the people door helps soo much in the heat.
