I don't think it would be a problem--any compression is pretty localized
and wouldn't have to string the wire tightly, anyway (in fact, wouldn't
want to).

But, another thought -- take either the netting or the chicken wire and
cut it into narrower strips -- it'll have sufficient surface area but be
less costly.

I went ahead and bought a roll of the anti-bird mesh. It appears to
be a grid of plastic fibers that are melted or bonded together where
they intersect. I attempted to rip it apart with my hands, and
couldn't, so it's pretty strong. For about $20, I got a roll that is
14' x 45'. If I cut it into 1' wide strips, and space them apart,
it's more than enough to do the whole house. Thanks for the
suggestions.

John.
