Lathe Metal

[brahmist]

Just a quickie if anybody is interested.Came across this wire
sheeting last week.So I bid on it and won,4 sheets 8' x 2' 5GBP.
This sheeting as most of you probably know,is used to keep render
on walls.The great thing about it is,that on one side it is smooth
the other as sharp as a razor.The holes being small,mice cannot
get through,I think it shreds their toes.Anyway main point is,it stops
them getting in.If they dig under the bricks on other side squash them.
Some will say it is too cruel,so don't use it.But we got fed up
with holes in plastic buckets,walls and nest boxes.NO MORE.

Would you use this for the whole run, or just around the bottom to stop foxes from digging in?

Sorry for such a loooooong delay,but we use it everywhere apart from
floor of coop.There we use big concrete slabs, they dig under that it falls
on them.
