Could anyone give me instructions (with photos if possible) of how to fix on a plastic shower curtain to Cube run. Basically I want it to work well, but not look unsightly. (yes, I am the woman who wants everything!)

[Egluntyne]

I used lugage cords. I'll see if I can find a photo. Back in a sec.

 

 

Am back.

 

 

Not the best picture in the world, but you can see that I have just looped 2 together and pulled them down and hooked them onto the run.

 

The end is tucked into a winter shade.

Thanks - that was what I was thinking of doing and I am sure I have some luggage cords somewhere, which I will hopefully find before chickens arrive.

I laid the shower curtain over the run and cut it to fit at the smaller end, then used some plastic Arro eyelets from Millets (£2.99 for 10) and bungee hooks from B&Q - it looks brilliant and fits very well.

 

If you look in my album (link below) then you'll see my first attempt before I got the eyelets.

I used bulldog clips! They do go rusty eventually, and then I chuck them away and get some more.

[Chickvic]

We have the run pegs and used those to attach the curtain at the eglu end and used the shade to hold it down at the other!

 

 

 

Couldn't find a chicken one - we had to make do with ducks! [/img]

Thank you all for your inspiration.

By the way, Chicvic, love the quote at the bottom of your thread re chicken houses and catherdrals!

[Strepsy]

I've got plastic bulldog-type clips.

I use 'Holdon clips' and ball bungees. The Holdon clips aren't the cheapest, but they grip amazingly well, and when the shower curtain is past its day, I can just unclip them and clip them onto the corners of a new one. They were originally designed to hold up advertising banners and to keep down tarpaulins, so they're certainly strong enough. They look very neat too. Here's what I use...

I use bungee cords to hold mine on.

 

This is really weird but I have a blue eglu and a duck shower curtain - just like chickvics!

 

Although the ducks look a bit different on mine!

 

I haven't re-sized the photo but you can see it in my album -

Chickvic I hope you're reading this I just thought it was a co-incidence!!

Love the ducky shower curtain! My flowery one is looking a little sad these days... must go and hunt out a new jazzy one! I just use pretty coloured pegs to hold mine in place.

[moomin]

AnnieP, if you have a Debenhams near you, they are selling them half-price, £7.50!!

[Chickvic]

Moomin how strange! We'll have to do a quick head count to see if anyone else has the same...

[moomin]

I doubt if anyone would have our good taste chickvic

 

But maybe they wouldn't want their chickens growing up with a 'duck complex'

 

[koo2cat]

I use ordinary clothes pegs!!!

I use ordinary clothes pegs!!!

 

Me too, although when it got really windy I used some bungy things

as well. Don't use the Eglu run anymore, got posh run with plastic roof.

I use green bungee cords from * here *. (They match the green of the run .)
