I use 1x1 mesh crab wire... But I don't think I have ever had a peeler climb out. My problem was the empty shed was there but no softy. At first I thought the other crabs were eating them until I saw a green heron having breakfast one morning.

My tanks have 2" x 10" sides and the only place the crabs would crawl out was in the corners. The crabs will pile up in the corners. A small triangle of wood over each corner stops that. I finally fiberglassed the insides of the tanks and rounded the corners. That eliminated the problem completely and also improved the water circulation.
