Our property is fully-fenced, and the ground is hard, so hopefully that will help somewhat. I know based on neighborhood reports (and my own sightings) that we have coyotes, foxes, skunks, raccoons, possums, snakes, groundhogs, and rats. I do plan to set up a camera, so we can always extend the...

Oh wow, that's impressive! We're just doing an 18" apron... hopefully it's enough? The ground here is pretty hard, but we do have coyotes, foxes, etc. so I'm not sure if they'll be able to get past it or not...

But we'll be filling the interior of the aviary with 4-6" of dirt & mulch also, so they'd have to dig quite deep through that...
