Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCube Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Bet your chickens arepleased too. Perhaps you could post some pics to show off how it works for other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCube Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Ignore me, I just saw your pics on the other thread! - looks a lot smarter than shower curtains too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Pleased to hear it stood up to the gale test! It looks very impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 very innovative, it'll keep them warm too, like little seedlings under a cloche! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Have you got roosting bars in there acting like a perch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveypup Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Oooh I love it - where does one get the corrugated plastic from? My shower curtain blew off on Friday never to be seen again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Have you got roosting bars in there acting like a perch? 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. Oooh I love it - where does one get the corrugated plastic from? My shower curtain blew off on Friday never to be seen again! 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 .

Blackrocksrock Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 What a fantastic idea. Easy to put on and easy to remove too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I have one of those shoe racks, 'cept mine's not broken & is in use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Surely you need a nice new one - perhaps someone could "trip" over your current one accidentally . They do break easily! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
