Looks like a good solution with the added fortification at both ground and roof level. Just make sure the chook wire is securely attached.

You can also plant wormwood and lavender around the enclosure.

I think this is just what I need - it has everything I want and is cheap. At least, I think its cheap. I expected to pay $1000 or more for someone to build me a fence this size, so $445 seems great. Securing the wire wont be a problem, when I was attaching the wire to the floor of the coop I thought about what would be a secure amount of staples, then doubled it, lol. There is a flat area of our yard that is closer to the house and shaded for most of the day, and if their coop is inside this fence they will have access to it when the weather is poor. I cant think of a downside to this idea but if anyone can think of one I'll be glad to hear it.

Silly question but can you staple metal to metal?

No, not that I know of. I have a roll of metal wire so I would use (a lot of) that to secure the wire.
