I've seen people suggest thick tape as well. The idea isn't really to use the tape as a barrier, it's so they don't notice there is a gap to get a proper hole started I think. It's hiding the weak spot. Washers might work if you have one on either side of the hole, and a bolt holding them together but in my experience they're not that cheap if you want to block every chewable corner.

The best playpen I've used is plain replaceable cardboard boxes. You know they're gonna get chewed anyway so you don't worry so much. You could line the playpen with cardboard you don't care about as like a first line of defense against her teeth?
