Duck run ideas

Instead of using fence staples you might want to use screws and washers. We did that and used a ton of washers. I read somewhere that raccoons and probably other predators can rip those staples out pretty easily but not with screws and washers.

Hint: at Home Depot, you can buy whole boxes of washers. If you reach in behind the loose ones they have unopened boxes and it's a LOT cheaper than buying the washers by the "each".

Or... Stapel hardware cloth on and then overlap with lath and screw in.

When working with larger material like 2"x4" welded wire I don't think screws and washers would be economical. You could screw a thin board over it though, sandwiching the welded wire between the frame and the thin board. This would work for hardware cloth or chicken wire too, but washers or staples are more economical in the case of material with smaller gaps.
