To clarify, the Four Square coop, as it is, is not predator-proof. There is nothing to deter coyotes, foxes, weasels, rats, dogs, or your choice of local digging predators from digging into the run. Until you have a way of stopping diggers, it's best to go out at night to lock the chooks into the coop box, and go out in the morning to let them out into the run.
Me, I'm a practical sort of DIYer. Meaning, lazy and handy.
So I like a simple hardware cloth skirt for the chickens and the snooze button for myself.
