Looks like hardware cloth and yes it’s predator proof. Chicken wire is not. But hardware cloth is

No problem! It’s kind of confusing cause you would think chicken wire would be good with the name but it’s not because predators can rip through it quite easily. It’s just designed to contain the chickens lol but yeah, you need 1/2 inch or 1/4 inch hardware cloth.

yeah exactly! when i first got my chickens i got the normal chicken wire, thankfully before an attack someone told me that it will only keep them in rather than keep predators out. i hate how expensive hardware cloth is too!
