   I have both hardware cloth and chicken wire. Can I use chicken wire for some parts of the skirting? It will be 24 inches out, and I will cover it with a few inches of dirt. Is chicken wire ok for skirting? Or do I need to go get more hardware cloth?

   I have a friend who used chicken wire (instead of hardware cloth), buried the chicken wire around the perimeters. The predator just rip the whole thing out and took out his entire flock in one night. All that work for nothing trying to save some money.
