Question on predator proofing a run

[MiMito3]

Hello everyone, Will 24” of corrugated metal in the ground against the coop wall be deep enough to prevent digging predators like coyotes and foxes? TIA

Probably, but a mesh apron might be easier to install.
Good examples of anti-dig apron installation.

Thanks for the reply. Reason we are considering this is my hubby is in construction and has a few panels left over and an excavator available. Just want to be sure it will work.

If it's leftover material, and a mini is available to dig, absolutely, go for it.
