I think it is very cute. I have found that overlapping but not secured areas of hardware cloth become problem areas that let in tunnelling rodents like gophers and voles. They push around dirt alot, pushing with their noses, and will push between the 2 layers and get in after a while. Next time sew the 2 pieces together tightly where they overlap with baling wire or if you have a galvanized wire, even better.

I use hardware cloth on the bottom of all my garden beds. The long sides are 2x12 lumber, redwood in this area, cedar is just as good in other regions. The hardware cloth is nailed on with metal staples very very close together, maybe even every inch. Could be 2 inches ? I havent done one for a couple years, but it has to be where a small rodent nose cant pull it down, push in, over time when they tunnel.
