Tall fence ideals for large aviary

I want to build a large run (100 feet by 50 feet) for my combined chicken and goose population.
I will have avian netting on the top, but was wondering what to use for walls. I need them to be at least 8 feet tall. The run will be quite visible so needs to be nice. Did anybody use metal netting kits with posts from critterfence.com? They look nice - black posts, black netting, custom gates - but I read some reviews that quality is very flimsy. Any thoughts?
I want to add that we do have a nice electric fence around the whole property which protects us from bears, foxes and other large predators. The main reason for this large run is protection from hawks that are becoming an issue. So in the morning my birds will be in the run but will have enough space to spread their wings, and in the afternoon they will free range (so far this schedule works for us).
Thank you!
 
Looks pretty good.
8' tall, should keep birds in, and 2x2 openings(tho I don't see the gauge of the mesh wires).
I'd put fencing up straight, top edge above posts with floppy edge(keeps birds from landing there and going over) instead of bending at base like they show,
then add anti-dig barriers.

Good examples of anti-dig apron installation.
