Well i do know, the coon that attacked our flock did not penetrate the top and we had less reinforced lattice up there at the time of the attack, now we fortified it lol I find it's pretty strong, i mean i was up a on ladder leaning across it to staple gun down the chicken wire to it.. it's screwed down to the 2X8's that are tied down to the actual dog kennel. The lattice is the already put together variety from lowes.. so it's treated lumber.. would you like a better picture?
The cost of hardware cloth is an issue for us as well, a 5ft length that is 3ft high, 1/2 in is about 15$(b4 tx) i'll have to go measure the run but i know it would be costly to recover the entire thing with the cloth instead of the chicken wire. Ok just measured, it's 7.5 by 13...
