Is there an advantage to having both a covered and uncovered run?

I've attached some pictures of the area and the layout that I had planned. This space used to be pretty sloped, and I just had a retaining wall built to make a level spot behind my shop to hold the coop and run(s). I haven't had heavy rains on it yet, but I expect it to drain without issues. Being that it was already an elevated area on my property, I didn't notice any standing water issues there.

Find some fast grow ground cover the girls will strip it but because you can shut one off you can resead about twice a year

Thanks! I hadn't looked into netting yet, so I appreciate the info. I had thought I might have to do hardware cloth as well, but the more I read, that might not be the case as I see netting is a popular option.

the netting is allot less money and works to keep air attack free for 29.99
