Covered walk in run

[peafowl_Lover]

Hi, in the winter time before work I have to let my hens out, it's usually quite dark and around an hour and a half till sunrise. I'm thinking of making a covered run, I know your not meant to use chicken wire, but this wire isn't the usual chicken wire the holes are much smaller and it is quite stronger. Will this work? Pic no.1 is the one I won't use.
Pic no.2 is the one I might use.
Or will i just use hardwear mesh?

It will work. It likely will not be predator proof, but if you are okay with that, then, yes it will work. Full disclosure - neither my run nor my coop are considered predator proof and they are fine for me.
