Maybe I could make a frame around the outside of the openings with 2x4s and drive nails all the way through.I'm so sorry this happened (and for my reaction trouble as I definitely do not "love" this). For future information, it's a good idea to sandwich the hardware cloth in between something. If you reattach the hardware cloth like it was and then use sturdy strips of wood over the edges to sandwich the hardware cloth. It's much more difficult to remove that way instead of just pulling. Again I'm so sorry

No such thing as overkill.So sorry for your losses, awful!
Here we use fencing staples to attach the hardware cloth to framing, then 1'x 4" boards screwed to the framing over the top of the hardware cloth. And on the lower 4' of our run section, 2" 4" woven wire fencing sandwiched in there too.

The windows have the hardware cloth attached from the inside the same way, with 1"x 2" framing screwed into the building framing.
Most of us have learned the hard way that predator proofing can't be overdone!
