new chicken run construction, any extra advice wanted

[Babychicknewbie1]

I have this chicken run build started. It has coated chicken wire all around. I have galvanized hardware mesh to add a few feet up the walls and a few feet of apron around the bottom all around. The chickens will only be in here during the day. Any suggestions on other things I should do to keep them safe during the day?

Also, our yard is fenced in on all sides. In the near future I plan on connecting the run and coop but that's later on. For now I will be letting them into the run each morning myself.

Cover it with 2x4 fencing, hardware cloth is great but for something like that I'd skip it.

You might need a roof for shade. For shade you wouldn't need to cover all of the roof, 1/3 to 12. It would also offer shelter from rain, snow, hail.
