are those both the same size? I'd definitely recommend the wooden run over the metal one, the metal ones are easily knocked over, they have no top so anything can get in (even the mesh isn't good enough in my opinion) and the wood stands up to weather perfectly fine if it's properly treated!

the wood also allows you to place corrugated plastic etc over the top to protect against rain/weather in winter. just put a sheet of mesh underneath the run and it's fully fox/cat proof

the metal one is bigger but the wooden is 6ft by 4ft and is 2ft in height. which i think is the minimum size? but by what you've said i think i will get the wooden one. i thought it would be more sturdy but wanted to make sure. thanks
