Chicken wire (Leverington CP (Fenland) PE13)

Has anyone chicken wire. That they no longer require... As I am trying to pen off my vegetables plants because I grow from seeds. Then as soon as I can plant out I do .BUT THR RAT'S EAT EVERYTHING... I have tried various ideas and purchased alsorts of deterrents with out success..
So now I am trying to make wire pens to protect my crops.. rat's eat everything.. even tomato plants ..
