what kind of fencing do I use?

Again thanks for the info!
it the coop run built out of 2x4's The angle makes it look like the door frame might be 2x3's. I would like to copy that door design and it looks really effective.

If you are referring to my photo, I make all my run doors out of 2x4 cedar. It is rather expensive here, but I like the fact that it is so light weight, and weather resistant. One cross piece in the middle, and short braces at the corners with 45 degree cuts makes for a simple construction.

I also sent you a PM.

I deleted the contents of this post. Not sure how to delete the entire post. I resolved my issue with the fencing. Thanks all!

Thank you all for the help. I used 19 gauge 1/2 inch 36" wide hardware cloth, I apron-ed it out 18 and buried it 2 inches under the sod I dug, ( it really was not that fun like mentioned), and I made sure to overlap the corners. I also built a nest box door and a roost area that converts to a brooding chamber in side and a loft with vent to store items that do not attract rodents. I have included a picture of the coop from the back deck. it has been a great, long, and extremely fun project. Our chick arrive on Friday next week and we are expecting to have 3 Plymouth barred, 2 Plymouth brown, and 3 Ameraucana.
