Im going to build a run to attach to my shed, is this mesh suitable and strong enough?

Im also debating as to whether I should shut them in at night for my own peace of mind, since Im a big worrier, and often get up in the middle of the night to check on them

Thanks, Laura.

I personally think so, as it's galvanised. Is it the smallest mesh 'hole' size? If so then it should be ok. It's what we've used in the past and had no problems.

Happy building!

I think that looks like the stuff we used. We brought ours from Homebase.

Usually you need quite a lot of it and it's much cheaper on ebay than in DIY stores.

I think it is the same stuff i used, as long as you fix it on tightly it'll do the job.

Hi, I don't know where you are - but if you're within any decent distance of Horsham area, in Sussex - I've got about 12m left (x 0.9m) on a roll of quite thick 1" square weldmesh that I'd let go for £20.
