Can't post pics, but made a coop out of cattle panels bent into an arch on an 8x8 2x6 frame. All sorts of pics online.
It has chicken wire everywhere, and heavier wire around bottom 4ft all zip tied to panels and stapled to wood.

Use an electric fence on step in posts to keep out varmints. Had a chicken wire skirt, but it just got in the way when moving, and something got under it one time by grounding out the fence on the chicken wire I assume.
Food and nipple water bucket hang. Lightweight and mobile. Use it for broilers to minimize poop accumulation.

You may be able to use panels for a sturdy lightweight frame to attach wire to on carport?
