We have used chicken wire in the way you describe, by tacking it in to
the rafter ends and then stuffing straw behind it.  You end up not
being able to see the wire or the edge of the EPDM.  There are a
couple pictures of the cabin here:

though it's a little hard to see the roof details.

Good luck,
James
