Day ranging, with birds of prey

Regularly losing chickens to our regularly visiting birds of prey (osprey, eagle, hawks, and the occasional falcon) we’ve changed our day-ranging setup again. Again. Sigh.
Condensed the electronet by 70% and added a roof via rebar + deer fencing mesh fabric from golf ranges. It is lightweight, fast/easy to move, and might become the electronet’s new BFF. Which would make it mine, too.
