My dangerous chicken wire...(pictures)

The wire that got me was technically "hardware cloth", it's all chicken wire to me though- since it keeps the chickens in!

Try running a bead of silicone calk over the cut ends. If one bead isn't enough use two. The silicone calk is waterproof, and dries to a rubber like coating. Hope this works!

I'm going to use the calk when the hot glue falls off!

Calk always works!

This is an excellent idea! I look like I've been to war each time I come back from my coop. Has this worked well for others here?

I don't see any kind of caulk working for long...
I've found that bending over the edges is well worth the time:

With the way the door hangs and such, I wouldn't be able to put another piece of wood on it. I've also tried melting the wire but I can't get it hot enough to melt. I'm going to try electrical tape over ends next but i'm not sure if it will stay on since the ends are so short.

Are they long enough to take a pair of pliers and curl them down?
