Hi I had it on my first run .ok . But would double it up at the bottom for extra protection. Stronger is better . Foxes can chew through it .

If you can get it use weldmesh. It is more expensive but foxes can't bite through it - so your run will be secure. Put a skirt of cheaper chicken round round the perimeter (lay it flat on the ground and the grass will grow through or you can cover with dirt...will stop anything digging down and under.. )t'
