Is there some kind of flexible netting that is critter-proof?

We are planning to cover the top half of our run in chicken wire this summer for when we go on vacation (the bottom half will be covered with 1/2" hardware cloth). I'm trying to figure out easier alternatives. is there any kind of flexible netting that would be easier to put on than chicken wire, but coons and other critters can't chew through?

eta: the base layer of our run is 2 x 4 wire fencing. Right now the bottom half is covered in chicken wire.

I honestly don't really know what you could use. I'm not very good with such topics. I like to use chicken wire for most sides of my enclosures, but any hardware cloth would probably work. There is some fencing materials that could work too that are made of a think wire, though I don't know how expensive it is. I see it used a lot for gardens to keep such predators out of vegetable beds and such.
 
I used avian netting (I believe that's what it was called) for the top of my old space. It was a small area, but I think the netting comes in large rolls as well.
