Chicken wire is very flimsy and predators can tear it apart, snakes and mice can get in. Use hardware cloth only. Post pics in our Coop and Run construction forums and those folks can give you some tips!

My bestie and I are going to build something larger later on and what I've been doing is using those "zoom" options on the coops being sold commercially to get ideas on how THEY are attaching their wire. Really getting in there, ya know, and looking at the corners and edges. Also been going over to her place and snooping at the couple of commercial coops she and her hubby bought last year (and snooping the $700 coop up at Tractor Supply). It seems to me they will take that tiny gauge rabbit wire--for potentially predator-prone spots--using a staple gun to attach it to the boards, then hammering the boards together with the wire between. This surely adds security and stability where the wire attaches. ...If I'm following your line of questioning. I'm old and am actually supposed to be doing dishes right now, but...CHICKENS. That's my alibi and I'm stickin' to it!
