I have ordered a 5x12 coop/run which will have metal slopped roof.
I was originally going to put hardware cloth underneath but it was explained that would eventually rust.
So the plan is hardware cloth 2 feet around the whole thing. Including the corners.
Then I was thinking getting the wire flower fences which I would put around the 2 foot barrier . The bases go another 6 inches into the ground but I am thinking while I'll keep most out, rats and mice will likely tunnel in.
Any suggestions on my ideas on this?
