Would not have thought about vent though glad I checked out the site. just spent january struggling in the mud to keep my coop and run clean, off to get my shed which will be much easier to manage.

Chicken wire will certainly keep hens in, but won't necessarily keep foxes or stoats out! This mesh is a little expensive but £45 will proved 30metres of 48" wide mesh which should be enough to proved a reasonable sized and very safe run. I would recommend stoat-profing the air vents too - better safe than sorry because stoats are even more evil than foxes! http://www.hillsofdevon.co.uk/aviary-mesh.html I’m not sure about using chicken wire for a run, especially if your henhouse is out of sight or if you are away from home during the day.

Converting a 6x4 shed, but wouldn't have thought about a vent at the top!! Thankyou for this extra advice!
