poultry mesh vs. poultry hradware wire

[texasrangers1]

we need to know which is best to put on top of our chicken coop:
hardware wire or poultry mesh. I have heard a lot of good things about both so now we need some opinions from the people that use both products. I have also heard that the mesh is very forgiving on the birds that are in the coop.

If you mean chicken wire, it won't keep predators out. Only hardware cloth will do that. Mary

poultry mesh or chicken wire is useless for keeping anything out. You can also use 2x4 fence wire. Unless you have minks or weasels around....
