Pics of Chain link, reinforced with Hardware cloth

[SandyRiverChick]

Does anyone have pics of your chain link run that is reinforced with hardware cloth? We have a mink bouncing around here so I'm reducing the size of my chain link run and reinforcing it with hardware cloth. Just want to see what it's going to look like as I could also just start net new with wood/hardware cloth, if it's going to be ugly. Just seems like the chain link panels would provide a great base. They have a T support so I've ordered 4 foot wide 1/2 guage hardware cloth to make 4 panels to then secure to the chain link with wood post additions. Thanks in advance!

I'm surprised there aren't many pics of what I thought was a fairly common combo, since kennels and construction fence panels could be used for runs.

Is there something specific you want to see?

Probably doesn't help much but here's one pic by @Chook-A-Holic, showing how they overlapped the HC and secured it to the chain link:

Not as pretty as above (and I only have it part way up for raccoons) but:

Thank you both! That's what I wanted to see. I've been making "panels" of hardware cloth with wood frame, inserting flush against chain link and securing with wood on the other side. I have to do the entire run as opposed to part way as Mink can basically get into anything! It chewed it's way through that super cheap hardware cloth they put on pre-fab coops! I had one of those screens from a pre-fab coop over a window and it plowed right through it. Worst predator ever because it's so hard to keep out and SO deadly (I lost 2.) So yes, appreciate you taking the time to send pics. It's not pretty but it works!! Thanks.

Which reminds me, if I didn't already post this: when you're adding HWC to existing chain-link or other sturdy but too open fencing, put the HWC on the outside. If they try to bust through it, the inner layer of chain link, etc., helps brace the HWC. @rosemarythyme 's second pic shows this well.
