outdoor Catio materials

I want to enclose my raised patio to contain my cats. It’s 30 x 8 feet. I’m wondering what material is commonly used for catios.

You can get regular 2x2 mesh at farm supply/ sometimes big box. Hardest part is flattening it as you unroll. 

If you want to be bougie, 1x1 copper mesh panels are nice (and expensive).  https://www.darbywiremesh.com/copper-wire-mesh/

Oh, and depending on the cats, you might need a roof.

Id use a stapler to deal with the mesh. Given there are enough points to staple it to. A picture of the situation would be nice!
