My eco solution to rat problems

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I'm so pleased . We had horrendous gales last night (I'm convinced the whole house shook at one point ) but my new corrugated plastic sheeting stayed in place with no damage at all .

 

No longer will I have to venture out at 3am in a howling gale to collect shower curtains or rearrange bungee ropes .

Bet your chickens arepleased too. Perhaps you could post some pics to show off how it works for other people.

Ignore me, I just saw your pics on the other thread! - looks a lot smarter than shower curtains too.

Pleased to hear it stood up to the gale test! It looks very impressive

[Guest]

what thread has the pictures in, I can't find it?

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Can't have you trawling the whole forum, Poet, you'll tire yourself out (it's getting very busy these days ).

 

Here you go:

That looks really good ANH!

 

Glad the roof stayed on last night!

very innovative, it'll keep them warm too, like little seedlings under a cloche!

Have you got roosting bars in there acting like a perch?

Oooh I love it - where does one get the corrugated plastic from? My shower curtain blew off on Friday never to be seen again!

It's half of an old Ikea shoe rack that got a bit broken. They love it and perch on it all the time . The ends fit through the mesh perfectly - in fact if you had two "shelves" you could nail them together and they'd fit right across the run.

I'm so pleased with it - we've had bad gales for 4 days and it's not moved a centimetre . I got it from a huge B&Q - corrugated plastic sheeting (in the builders yard bit), 2 1/2 metres long. There is a longer size but it was too long for the car - and the run I think - and I don't know if you can cut it easily (you could ask B&Q I suppose?). £12 the pair - bargain .

What a fantastic idea. Easy to put on and easy to remove too.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I can't really claim the credit . Someone on the forum mentioned it in passing ages ago and I thought it seemed a good idea!

I have one of those shoe racks, 'cept mine's not broken & is in use

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Surely you need a nice new one - perhaps someone could "trip" over your current one accidentally . They do break easily!
