You really did a great job cleaning up an old rickety structure and made good use of the materials you had on hand to create a new coop and run.
I would still go ahead and cover all your larger sized wire with 1/2" hardware cloth. What you have will keep most things out. It's the weasels that will get in. Maybe they will find you and maybe they won't. I'd sleep better at night with the 1/2" hardware cloth!
The run will eventually get muddy and sinky without some type of litter in there. You could rake up pine needles from elsewhere in your yard, use old dry leaves or wood chips. If you have access to free wood chips, they are my choice. Hopefully there are no low spots and the run drains well.
Again, you did a really nice job!
