What size hardware cloth is considered weasel proof?
Re: What size hardware cloth is considered weasel proof?
2 dogs went to my brothers house one day and ripped 1/2" off and ate 2 rabbits before he could scare them off. He found 2 of their teeth on the floor. He now has frost fence or 2"x4" Fence (similar in diameter to frost fence). on the outside and 1/2" on the inside and calls his coop Fort Knox. No injuries or deaths since this additional layer of protection was installed. Looks really ugly though

Whatever I do has to 'look nice' sometimes I have to rip it out and start again...lollolotsung wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 9:42 pm2 dogs went to my brothers house one day and ripped 1/2" off and ate 2 rabbits before he could scare them off.

Went to Peavey Mart to get some hardware cloth and they now seem to label plastic cloth as hardware cloth. Watch out when you get any.
