I purchased this and was wondering if anyone knew what the pvc mesh fencing was and do I need to add hardware cloth as well to make sure my chickens are safe https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRCVML55?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

It's plastic coated chicken wire so not sure if the coating does anything to strengthen it. What predators do you have?

Note that they very specifically describe this as "Full coverage wire mesh can keep the poultry inside the cage and avoid them coming out to mess with your backyard or farm." - there is zero claim of providing protection from predators. Rats and mice can simply walk in, raccoons could reach in, snakes could get in, etc.

Is this the correct product?

Ok. That link works.

The " hexagon" has me believing it's chicken wire. Hardware cloth is 1/4" or 1/2" square. Chicken cloth or wire is only good for keeping chickens from areas you don't want them to get to. It will not protect them from predator's.

I will be housing 20 chickens I need an easy DIY nesting and sleeping place for them. Any ideas?
