I would suggest that you start a new thread with pics of your coop and run for suggestions on how to do what you need to do.
Many would be glad to help! :D

I have a welded wire run that currently has bird net over it. I have been looking for a more permanent, substantial run but the run is on a slight slope and our area is noted for it's rocks so digging in posts to make a frame and wire structure is difficult. My coop is a Leonard 5 X 8 raised about 15 inches off the ground so the chickens can get under it. My current situation doesn't require a new thread, I was just trying to see what the OP did to go through the chain link.
 
So many options, but I covered my entire run with 1/2" hardware cloth and then I put clear plastic corrugated roof panels on top of it. I have two Barred Owls living above my coop, raccoons in my yard every night (one ran past me last night while talking to my birds), foxes, and all sorts of other critters roaming around. Can't be too careful.

Here's my build video to help with your planning:
