**Building it Yourself**

This helpful video shows you one way of building a chicken wire run.

 

**Chicken Wire Pulled Tight  **

**Stop Replacing Wire **

You can use [black vinyl coated 1" hexagonal chicken wire](https://www.louispage.com/wire-netting/hexagonal-vinyl-coated) for the added benefits of a longer-lasting product--reducing the cost, frequency, and hassle of replacement--plus a more attractive pen. The black coating of the wire makes the fence virtually invisible. You can see your birds through the fence more easily.

Do you have other ideas or suggestions about building a chicken run using chicken wire?
