MBC timber frame and cedar cladding closing the gap

Hi all I hope I am in the right place for this question. If not please tell me which section I should post in. We are having an MBC timber frame and we are part cladding part rendering. Mainly the cedar cladding will on the east and west elevations, the render on north and south. There will be a clearance gap between where the cladding ends and the ground. We have been told we should us a metal mesh here to stop rodents (eeek!). We were thinking of using a brick slip

Thanks for that tip on the ever edge looks just what I am looking for to edge the resin bound. We have ended up getting powder coated metal ( aluminium I think but not sure)l pieces fabricated to form the skirt around our eps. They will go up under the larch clad and come down over the eps and membrane and then we will put gravel on top. They are being fabricated at the moment so not seen in situ yet.
