Handypeople: What's the best way to attach hardware cloth (chicken wire) to a metal surface WITHOUT drilling a hole?
→[More:]
I need to screen off the space beneath the AC unit, 'cause I think rats are still getting in through there. It's a gap of about 3". I can screw the bottom of the hardware cloth into the wood slats the unit rests on. However, the top half needs to be attached to the AC unit itself, and drilling a hole through it is obviously not an option.
Only thing I've come up with so far is to epoxy a thin piece of wood to the back of the hardware cloth, and epoxy that wood to the AC unit.
Anyone got a better idea?
