so lucky

I am seriously ready to get chickens again, but if I do, it will ground me from making any more trips. (I know I haven't been burning up the highways, but I might want to)
So I was kicking around trying to make the coop predator-proof enough that I could leave the coop door open at night. For a few nights in a row.
Right now there is a fruit-tree netting top covering the chicken yard, mostly to discourage hawks and other smaller birds who eat the chicken food.
I am wondering if replacing the plastic netting with chicken wire would be enough to keep out raccoons or possums. I know better than to trust chicken wire for the walls, but for a roof? What are your thoughts on this?
