Hi, guys. In response to my recent loss, I am building my chicken run into Fort Knox. Still under construction, but take a look. Here's my question (which deals with predator-proofing underneath the door to the run): In general, I skirted the hardware cloth around the run from outside-to-in, and then stacked a dry stone wall on top (for both safety and aesthetics). But underneath the door poses a potential issue. I was thinking of maybe digging a 2 to 3 foot trench underneath the base of the door, and then laying some stone...would that work? (In otherwords, an underground stone wall of about two to three feet)?
See pictures attached, so you can see what I'm talking about.
Advice appreciated
Thanks as always
