Hi guys,
We've built a large outdoor run for our birds after a fox scare the day before yesterday, and are mulling over ideas for the gate we want to install in it. Does anyone have any suggestions for a gate latch (or latches) that is impervious to the devious and clever little hands of the raccoons we have around here? We don't want to take any chances! The fence is made of welded wire, and uses t-posts as supports. We were thinking the gate would have to consist of wooden posts in between two of the t-posts, and the gate would be a wood frame on hinges, with either the cut-out welded wire or some hardware cloth covering the rest of the gate.
What do you all use?
