Chicken wire vs Eggcrate

[rif]

Is Chicken wire an acceptable material to use in order to keep the jumpers at bay? I see a lot of people are using Eggcrate. The only benefit I can think of with chicken wire would be that it probablly wouldn't melt. I wonder if perhaps the salt water will make it corrode away and deposit some bad things into the water?

It will rust, yes.
Eggcrate will not melt unless it's placed directly in the path of something VERY hot...such as a fire.
People use eggcrate directly under MH all the time, with no problems.

Yea- unless your chicken wire is stainless steel I wouldnt use it. Its too flimsy also.
