Being in town we have stray cats then the normal snakes and we have hawks nesting within 50 yards. We also have groundhogs tunneling under our yard (one of their exits is under our shed). We use half inch 4 ft tall fencing for the majority. The chicken wire is for what it don’t cover for the fly ins and climbers.That's understandable but really, they're hardier than people sometimes think and quite adaptable. They just can't get used to colder weather if they're never exposed to it.
What kinds of predators do you have in your area? Chicken wire is good for keeping chickens in, but won't do much to keep some predators out.
