Ah...that's chicken wire, not hardware cloth,
most preds can chew right thru chicken wire.

It was sold as hardware cloth by TSC. We used this same stuff as a a double layer barrier on our chicken tractor after raccoons were chewing through the chicken wire on the tractor. Since we added this stuff (sold as hardware cloth) to the tractor,we haven't had any additional problems with the raccoons chewing through it. I think I know what you're referring to as hardware cloth, but dumbly, I'm just relying on the advice of the store clerk.Ah...that's chicken wire, not hardware cloth,

Hi, we turned a 3 sided cattle structure into a coop. It was a basic corrugated metal shed. It had no floor, so we made one from repurposed oak fence boards. The front is cedar fence pickets....the window now has wire mesh and a plastic poly panel for winter...Hello all.
I am turning a three sided old horse structure into a coop. Going to make the walls align, no cracks or openings. But I need help with ideas for the floor and best way to build the front wall for the coop.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
So how bad would it be to keep the dirt floor? It's almost a hard clay.

See my previous post. I would prefer a soil floor, if drainage is good, and you have a secure, WELDED hardware cloth skirt.
That right there is the issue! Store clerks will say any thing that pops into their heads. Often, they don't have a clue what they are talking about. Anything to make a sale.
