I topped off my enclosure with frames made from tile batten with plastic coated wire fencing. It's much stronger than chicken wire & fairly rigid, so it helps to keep the whole framework stable.
Tile batten measures about 4cms X 2cms and wire fencing has 5cm X 10cm gage. It was on a 10m roll from B & Q. It must be set high enough so that foxes can't reach the ground if they put their paws through. These tops sit on side pannals made from the same materials, except the wire has a much smaller gage (about 1cm) and the uprights are slid into brackets screwed to mock railway sleepers that form the base. Might sound a bit involved, but it makes a set-up that can be dismantled in a few mins. When the time comes to put mine back up (it's all stored in the garage for the winter) i'll try to get some pics posted here to show how simple it really is.
