This is the last room of the flat and the cables are serving the ceiling light, two wall sockets and a safety light in the garden. Can I make a cage with chicken-wire around the cables so as to not get in contact with the insulation. Or any other tip?

Can I eclose the cables in something like a wider chicken wire cage so as to insulate both below and above the cables but keep insulation from direct contact with the wires?
