    The wire fencing is embedded about 1ft into the ground - I'll add some more 1/2" hardware cloth on the perimeter - but I can't really add it overhead with the snow load we get here. It's hard to see from the photos - but there's big eaves vents throughout the entire sides. A window on the back...
