I use electric poultry netting from premeir 1 to keep four legged critters at bay, but you're safer with a structure with 1/2" welded wire.

Welcome to BYC. Sorry for your loss. I agree with @rjohns39, electric fencing is generally an effective deterrent. Care would have to be taken to warn your children about the potential for shocks.
