Quick question about predator proofing..

[rosemarythyme]

Another vote for hog rings, or that failing, galvanized wire. Hog rings (and the matching pliers) are fairly cheap and sturdy. In a few spots for HWC-to-chain link I use zip ties but most of them are stainless steel zip ties which are a lot more expensive.

They also have stainless steel.

I used both the heavy duty UV zip ties and the stainless steel zip ties to attach hardware cloth to a dog run. Both work well. Just be warned that the metal zip ties are incredibly sharp, especially if you cut off the extra length after tightening them.

I take zipties as a quick and dirty temporary solution. Great for getting things set up in the short term, but I expect degradation over time.

I like using galvanized wire (electric fence wire) to "sew" pieces of chicken wire or other fence wire to eachother as a more permanent solution.

And much cheaper than hog rings and pliers.
