Our chickens have always been free range, but a Mama Fox came a few weeks ago and took 2 of our favorites. I want to now build a coop run. Here is my plan:

-There is a wall on the coop, so there would be 4 foot high hardware cloth (1/4 in.) on 3 sides.
-The posts and hardware cloth would be buried a few inches below the ground.
-If the posts go beyond 4 feet, the rest will be chicken wire
-The top will be deer netting from the top of the posts to the roof of the coop, and the sides will be covered too.

Not from a handy family, so I kind of made the plan myself with help from the google. Any additions or approval would be great thanks. Goal is to not get anymore killed. Money is lower on the importance list than chickens lives.
 
I wouldn't use netting or chicken wire if you are concerned with predators. Raccoons can get through them often.
