Description
This is a 3m x 2m run frame (with door kit) but no wire. The door is on the 3m side. It does not include any roof covers or optional leg extensions
We do recommend that to help you build the run, use a tap and die set to remove any galvanisation that has settled in the bolt threads and a pair of aviation snips to cut the wire. These are not included, but examples can be found here:

Siting Your Run
The run will sit on any surface providing it is relatively flat (up to a 1in20 slope should be fine) but different surfaces have different advantages/disadvantages.
A grass or earth surface is probably best for chickens. It allows a ground skirt to be pegged down but there is a possibility of rats tunnelling under the frame to get inside.
The runs will also sit well on a hard/concrete/tarmac surface which eliminates the worry about tunnelling predators but won’t allow the ground skirt to be pegged down.
