I am going to add one more layer to my run. I currently have put 1/2” bird netting stapled to the top. On top of that I have 1” plastic fencing stapled and twist tied to the netting. I am thinking of adding a layer of wire chicken netting (the larger circles) on top of that. My reasons for not using 1/4 inch hardware cloth from the beginning are as follows:
1. The cost to cover 8’ x 24’ would be a couple hundred dollars.
2. The availability is inconsistent and I already had the fencing.
3. I was hoping to not add a lot of weight to the top to lessen the burden of a heavy snowfall.
4. I was going for a more light, airy feel, rather than a boxed in cage feeling.
I love hearing everyone’s ideas so, what are people’s thoughts?
