Best way to attach chicken wire on top of pen.

Then why use chicken wire, as it's not predator proof?

Because it’s just for flying predators, and since they will be locked up at night I don’t have to worry about night predators.

Sorry, I had to leave last night to make dinner. The 2X4's for your pen sound good. I wasn't taking into consideration how big your posts are.

@Ridgerunner - the 1x3's work just fine. They are nailed together to form a frame, the wire is then stapled to the frame to form a panel. The panels are then nailed together. There are supports going across that hold up a roof panel, nailed to the wall panels. We have a odd shaped coop/run due to our yard being sloped. There is a section that is hinged due to an extension piece having to be at an odd angle. At some point I will post photos

It’s okay, I went out last night to Home Depot and bought the 2 x 4 so will be working on that later on today. Was trying to do it this morning but had forgotten the farrier was coming over so have to start a little later because it’s too hot right now
