Hardware cloth on the inside?

Hardware cloth on the inside?

Hey guys! I am pretty much done my coop only to start doubting my decision to put the hardware cloth on the inside of the run. I used screws and washers and will probably go overboard with staples. Also thinking of adding trim on top of the hardware cloth to sandwich it between two pieces of wood. We have foxes which I’ve seen in our yard and I’ve heard coyotes in the distance. We also have raccoons which I constantly see footprints of around the coop but the coop is solid and has never been broken into.
I’m now crazy worried about predators pushing through the hardware cloth. I also just spent a ton of time doing all this work attaching the hardware cloth. Anyone do their run like this and what has your experience been? Can this be safe or no way?
