Hi Wallflower, I used the search function, copied and pasted an old posting for you below. I hope this helps. Up to this day, no rabbit ever got in. Rabbits will tunnel under anything you put down unless you make it impossible.

Hi Clare. Before you dig a 2 foot thrench and break your back, plantsman already mentioned it, just scrape the top layer of soil off on the outside of the fence and place a 20-30 cm folded out section of the fencing flat on the ground and put the soil back on top.
Our lottie complex is overtaken by rabbits and this system works. We got chicken wire 1 meter wide, 80cm is above ground and 20cm is laying flat just under the soil. The first couple of days after building the fencing we found 11 places where rabbits had been trying to tunnel under the fencing but hit more fencing instead. In one place, the fence was all dented in, I think one rabbit got crazy from frustration and threw him/herself agains the fencing hahaha.
