not sure about small breed rabbits, but the 1/2 x 1 inch is fine for the larger breed rabbits, like Bossroo already said. also rabbit poop is less likely to build up on it if you use as big a holes as possible, the 1/2 x 1/2 can collect the poop a little too easily.
We tried to run a wire under our floors and we just couldn't get it tight enough, so we can't put any feed dishes on the floor, every time the rabbits hop the food and water would spill so we are hanging all our feed dishes and water dishes.

I raise mine in a shed I built specifically for this purpose. It is about 10 ft. wide and I have 36 x 30 cages for my breeders on the left and 30 x 30 on the right for my bucks and grow out cages. I made everything hanging from the wall on rails that can be moved up and down and sideways as I really didn't know how everything was going to work out so I wanted to be able to move things around if I needed to(which I did). I can go 3 high with this but would have to use a step stool to access the top tier. The first pic is before I had any rabbits but I have 16 cages now with 5 empty but hopefully 2 litters in about 3 weeks. You said rabbit pens so maybe you are going to raise them outside in a colony setting so maybe this is of no help. Good luck with your rabbit raising, this is an excellent place for advice from people with hands on experience. I have learned a lot since I joined and it is good to have a place to go when you run into something that you're not sure how to handle. I should add that Storey's Guide to Raising Rabbits is an excellent book that I used to figure out how to go about getting started and what to expect. I still refer to it from time to time.

I'd really like to see some close ups of your hanging designs. We need to re-do our caging.
