1/2 x 1/2 inch harware cloth run on the inside of each fence panel.
I put pre- painted 1x6 deck boards all around the bottom to help keep predators from prying at the wire there. I have changed the coated 1/2 inch chicken wire out to 1/2 inch hardware cloth that extends 18 inch out. This spring I plan to add a 2 foot extension from that and put crusher run stones all around about 3 inches deep and 3 foot wide to make a nice path and finish off the predator barrier.
A panel getting the hardware cloth put on for the outside. The HC is wrapped around to the sides and bottom of the frame and the edges won't be accessible to prying hands
1x2 in place at the top of panel. I put 1x2s all the way around each panel with plenty of screws to prevent a predator from pulling the hardware cloth out from the outside.

painted 1x2's to hold hardware cloth in place
The center "opening" on the end will be a 36" door.
This is the extended 13 1/2 ft x 16 ft with a 1 1/2 foot connection space. The posts are set in place using metal post stakes.All of the frame is made with removeable panels to make any future modifications or removal easier. The whole run is made completley with screws and lag screws all predrilled.
