Without the framework of a veranda to help enclose the sides, one of those large backyard golf practice frames would work well, or you could make one out of PVC pipe for just a few bucks. Another easy way is the frame from a cheap family tent that is missing it's cloth. I used cheap nylon garden netting with a 1" mesh. I could buy packages of 10m X 10m for about $5.
When making it, I found the secret to keeping Felicity inside was to use a double layer of netting spaced about 2" apart, and not pulling anything tight. Because it's loose, when she pushes on it trying to get through, it gives with her and she gets nowhere. After trying all the obvious escape routes she finally gave up trying to get out.
