Will Bird /Deer Netting keep flying predators out of the Run?

Mine will support 8" of snow with 10' span and attachements every 12". Attachment points and reinforcement can make the setup stronger.

I have read that snow will bring down netting though anyone had a problem with that? what about leaves in fall when they start falling?

I have true deer fence over my run which is a lot stronger than bird or deer "netting", and I've not had a problem with snow or leaves. The deer fence has one inch square openings.

Sounds like if your going to go to the trouble of covering a run best to buy the best. I hate to have to redo things.

My fake deer netting last as least 4 years and counting, likely longer than the typical backyard poultry keeps chickens in a particular setup.

That's good to know sounds like your is put up well too. I think that would make the difference in how long it last stretching it out with out supports over a wide span wouldn't last very long.

You will have a difficultyfinding any material that will resist stretching / breaking under load over extended periods of time.
