Run planning - how high does hardware cloth need to go?

I be

The panels in the pic aren't what we know as cattle panels here. The pen you posted has smaller openings than cattle panels. Really interesting though.

I am in suburbia so no coyotes, rats or possums. We have lots of fox, hawks and raccoons though.

I am not much help I guess.

I would keep looking for "rabbit wire" "cage wire" or hardware cloth on sale.

I believe those are horse panels. 2x4 openings and 5 ft tall
