Chain link run help!

How much mesh do I need for a ten foot by ten foot run?

If you can find it in the 4' height ... a 50' roll will leave you with a little extra ... you really only need about 33' (about 10 meters) if you can by it by the foot ...

A 25' - 50' roll of the 12 gauge steel wire should be enough to hook it all together ... there is also a way to hook the wires together with something called "hog rings" ... they take special plyers though, probably not worth it for a small project.

Do you get snow? I would think anything you put up there needs to be supported if you do. Not as much if most of the snow can fall through or if you have very light snow. Heavy snow can build up fast.

Looks like at least a center support ... not much snow in the UK

Also a suggestion on your coop ... while I can only see one side ... I'd try to get a vent in over the door, up near the peak, and another one on the back ...

Chickens need good ventilation ... their poop has a very high amount of ammonia, which is lighter than air and naturally rises ... very bad for the chickens to breathe though, so it needs to be vented out.

Hi thanks for your reply is there anything I could do to tie them on instead of hog rings? Also please may you send me a link of the mesh? Thans
