Not sure which critters you're having problems with- but you could consider bird netting. We built raised beds for our tomatoes and screwed PVC pipe to the sides so we could insert thinner long pieces in them to form hoops for hanging bird netting. Amazingly we haven't had to employ it- but have it ready just in case!

Awesome, thank you! I'll go find some of that to be extra safe.
