Hello, Roger -- that's "hardware cloth", which would certainly work, but 
is quite a bit more expensive than chicken wire, and maybe harder to 
work with.  I've seen hardware cloth in 1/4" and 1/2" grids.  And you're 
right, it's definitely not climb-able, at least without hooks and spikes 
or something.

They both come in all sorts of widths; I just bought a roll of 4' x 150' 
chicken wire.  The store calls it "hex netting" or "poultry netting" ... 
they really mean "chicken wire".  Silly city kids. :).

I agree with you; I'd choose the hardware cloth for this application.

Cheers ...
