Hopefully it should be with me, within a week..

I changed my plans yet again after deciding the runs were never big enough when bought with coops.. So I'm ordering chicken wire and fence posts and making my own around a part of my garden so they have much more space but still can't get out. Just stuck on what kind of door/gate to make to get into the run. I think maybe just make a frame out of batons and then chicken wire it and add hinges and a lock.
The chicken wire will be dug in 2 foot under the ground and it is also edged with concrete blocks which are dug in (These are already here around the piece of land I'm using for the run.)
I have also ordered the feeder and drinker. Will get the food locally as I have a discount voucher to use for some ex-bat pellets.
Once everything is completed, I can finally get my chickens, yay!!
Is it that important to put a roof over the top of the whole run? They will be locked in the coop at night and the run sides will be over 6 foot high.
The only animals we get coming into the garden during the day are cats - Only ours though since the CPL collected the stray.
Any other advice?
