I have run out of 1/2" hardware cloth on the build. The only remaining areas that I need it are:1/4" isn't the best option unless your primary problem is mice.
1/2" hardware cloth is usually made from a thicker, stronger wire, which makes it better because raccoons and some other stronger predators can rip through the finer wire used in the 1/4" hardware cloth.
- Top 12" of door (over a piece of coated fencing, see photo)
- Beside the door, both sides, above about 14"
- Apron in front of the door side
I hate the thought of buying a roll of HWC ($$$!) for just these areas when I have some 1/4" hardware cloth available that is probably enough to finish the job.
I understand that 1/4" HWC is probably not as strong as 1/2", but would it make a difference in these areas?
Thanks for your input.
