Do you mean something like this???
That is a great idea. I'll see if I can pick a second hand one up somewhere. They are roughly $300 brand new, online, which is far to expensive for me.

I have been told there is always someone selling dog kennels on craigslist...
Here is what we did with our kennels to make the predator proof!!! This shows you how we did them to keep in the heat during winter and keep out the heat in the summer.

Nice! i have a 12x12 set up permanently and have done a similar thing with mine. they work great and its cheaper than buying all the supplies you would need to build one that size if you can find them cheap. I found mine at a community sale for $80.00

Thank you my husband put them together like that. We just kept improving on them until NO predators could stick their face or paws in the pens!!!!!

Because of foxes and raccoons when we had ducks as well we lost 48 ducks to the predators and one young adult goose and two newly hatched goslings. All of the goslings were inside of the pen when the raccoon got them! Plus the raccoons pulled ducks right through the pens. Even welded wire that was 1" x 2"!!!!! So that is why we put hardware cloth all around the whole pen 3 foot high. So fingers could not get through there. Even put it on the doors.....
