Pro Tips

  • 1/4" mesh is the gold standard for stopping all rodents โ€” worth the extra cost
  • Bury or fold out a 12" apron at the base to stop diggers (raccoons, foxes)
  • Staple every 3-4 inches along all edges โ€” gaps are where predators get in
  • Hardware cloth is stiffer than wire โ€” wear gloves, the edges are sharp
  • Overlap seams by at least 6 inches and staple both edges of each overlap
