I have bird netting over my run for my ducks. I know it won't keep raccoons out but I got it at home depot and I think it's 14 feet wide and it's pretty long.
It's a major pain to set up but it didn't break the bank. Hardware cloth if your best bet but it's expensive and you'd have to really plan supports to hold it up.
I tied twine between 2 trees outside of the pen and connected the bird netting to the fence and it looks kinda like a circus with the netting draped over the twine. But I have all of the edges sealed.
We have a red tailed hawk at our house and no problems- yet
