Yes, I have bought some 'predator proof' plastic mesh, I think it's designed for protecting goldfish from herons though. It will certainly stop cats from jumping down, and birds of prey etc, but I'm not sure about foxes, so have been looking at scent deterrents, and those plastic wall spikes. have a motion sensor light etc...
Does anyone have any ideas?
We live in the centre of town, behind a car park, and in front of a main road with a lot of light, and I haven't seen any foxes nearby yet - though I know they will be around if they smell bunny. our 'garden' is the only one in the street, everyone else's is a drive at the back of the house so I wouldn't think it's a common hanging out space for mr. fox.
It is something I'm concerned about, and I'd like to get a pergola over the whole thing really, which I could then put cage mesh on top which would be sturdy, safe and pretty., The problem is because its outside our house, we didn't want chicken wire over the top, making us feel caged in, but maybe that's the best idea.
It's the last thing to be done... because I'm the least confident about it!
