Wow, what a great article.
Just consider: Do I need all these protections or just a few of them? Of course this depends on you’re specific situation.
E.g. I don’t need complicated locks because we have no raccoons where I live (until now). They are an invasive species here and are shot whenever they find one. And I like the rain coming in into the run. This way its possible to grow plants in the run. Therefore I made strong netting against birds of pray / cat netting on top. Hard ware cloth would have been a better option but more expensive and less nice to look at.
