IS 19 GAUGE STRONG ENOUGH TO WITH STAND THE RAVAGES OF A WILD BEAST SUCH AS BEAVER,OTTER,BOBCAT OR RACCOON.........I HAVE BUILT MY FIRST CAGE ITS REAL SOLID AS FAR AS THE 1/4" COLD ROLD FRAMES BUT THE 19 GUAGE 1/2" X 1/2" WELDED WIRE MESH SEEMS KIND OF WEAK........ALSO IVE HEARD 1/2" X 1" IS ALSO A GOOD CHOICE BUT WHAT ABOUT GUAGE. WHAT DO YALL THINK????????

I NEED TO CHANGE MY USER NAME TO HARD KORR ROOKIE. I DO APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP AND ADVICE.

I would not use less then 14 guage. Most traps are either 14 or 12 guage. 1x1 12 guage for chewers. 14 is fine for small animals and cats and underwater sets.
