Thanks for all the advice and assistance.
We don't want to sound paranoid (just cautious), but.....
Yes, the TM we looked at had the flaps on the upper panel which attached to the lower with velcro strips. We have several concerns re this arrangement. For example, how effective is it in keeping the "tree rats" out? We have seen them chew through the plastic trash cans in our neighborhood (they are about 1/8 thick and are rated to hold up to 200 pounds) to get to the goodies inside.
Another concern is that the raccoons tend to be very intelligent and extremely good at getting into things (for example, they've figured out how to open latches and raid coolers here in the Ozarks). We are concerned that they would be able to figure out how (and be strong enough to take advantage) to get into the TM by defeating the velcro. Any experience with this?
Thanks
