Chicken Coop Net ideas

[Emmaroberts100101]

Hey there,
I have a chicken coop but I want to make it more secure so no animals get to my chickens, so I want to put the coop inside a fenced up net. I also want the net to act as a chicken run as well. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can make one or where I can get one?

Depending on the size of your coop, you could start with a dog run or some 2 x 4 welded wire with T posts. Netting will not keep out most predators. Can you post a picture of your coop?

I would recommend using woven wire, not welded, or dog kennel panels to make the frame of the run, then make an 18 inch skirt of 1/4"-1/2" hardware cloth either dug 6 in under ground, or laid out 18 inches from the base and staked down.

My concern with only netting is that it will not keep predators out, and is unstable.
