oh hubby thinks its also 1.6mm thickness.....

<yawn> is it morning yet ?

For fox-proofing, 1mm (19g) thick is cited as adequate. I have no personal experience but that's what the experts say.
I use 25x13mm (1x1/2") to keep rats out. I think 1" will allow them into the run but they'll probably get in anyway 

1.6mm can only be an improvement but you'll obviously pay more.

19 gauge for me too!
although, now you've said it, 1.6 sounds better.

my holes are 1cm squared. there's no way a predator can get his teeth round it!

1in square and 1mm guage is what we are going for.
Thank you so much for advise,i just couldnt decide or know what is best
