My husband started putting the hardware cloth up on my new carport run! And he is doing it exactly like I asked him too!! It is looking good so far. I can't wait to see it all done. Then he will move onto the new coop! I have waited so long for this day that I cannot believe it is finally here!

Attaching the 1/2" hardware cloth with washers and screws. He even bought a new drill just to do this job.

He is attaching the hardware cloth to the bottom leg of the carport and then extending it out about 18" so nothing can dig down.

Once he gets this all done he will then be putting up 1/2" by 1" 14 gage welded wire fencing on the bottom 4 ft of the run and we will also be laying some of the welded wire on top of the hardware cloth. We will then top that with gravel and probably some potted plants. Hope this will be secure enough!

Thanks. I think he is doing a good job too! I am so happy with how this is turning out. I have been waiting since 2011 for this, so I am beyond excited! Normally he argues with me about stuff like this, but this time he is doing things just like I asked. He must be getting mellow in his old age. LOL!!!
 
Yes I am doing the happy covered chicken run dance. Tomorrow we are going to fetch the wood for the two short ends that don't have the metal poles. I plan to use some old fence boards for a door. I have a pic for him to follow. It is going to be so cute when it is done. But more than that, it is going to be secure and very functional and easy for me to maintain.
