Thanks,

we're fortunate out here on the sage flats there's not many coons. I've got the hardware cloth 3 feet or so up the side with +/- a foot buried. The chicken wire on top of that. More concerned here with 'yotes and badgers and perhaps the odd fox and skunk. Raccoons tend to like having more water around.

This badger didn't like a 12g load of #6 steel from a few feet away. You can see the hardware cloth and chicken wire set up.

The actual coop is a little shed like thing the local Mennonites made. I'll see if I can dig up a pic of that tomorrow or the next day. Long drive for a Dr appointment tomorrow.
