I think either idea could work! Maybe zip ties for the upper strands that won’t have to travel as far to avoid the tunnel. Then the jumpers or mending kit for the lower strands that will have to travel a greater distance from one side to the other.
Because the tunnel is permanent and the fence needs to go by it. The fence will surround the coop and the tunnel comes out of the coop and I'm not removing the tunnel so it has to go over it or stop next to it on both sides. The tunnel runs 250 feet across my property to another enclosed predator proof run so they can still wander the property but safely. Theres an auto door that opens in the morning to let them access the tunnels and other runs. This fence is jsut to protect the coop they sleep in when I'm not around/awake to chase off bobcats etc. It isnt to keep chickens in its to keep my big predators from testing the coop walls etc.
Thats true I'll have to find a way to secure it a bit down in those areas. But even if a racoon or something smaller than my bobcats tries to scootch under chances are they'll give themselves a mighty zap going in or out from under those gaps haha this is jsut another layer of protection, I trust my predator proofing without the fence but would rather keep them from continuing to test it.
Thats a good idea too! That would prevent the gaps @Sefirothe pointed out as well from zip tying. I bought a couple extra of the "fiber tough" posts with my set up so I could probably use those to connect the hot netting to the fence posts.
