EGLU HEAT PROBLEMS

[fluffyknickers]

hi, waiting for the delivery of my cube and 2m run - cant wait.

 

I would like to protect the chickens and the flooring from the rain so need some sort of roof protection so wondered what is best and best for securing it?

 

I have seen a clear tarpaulin mentioned and corrugated plastic and secured with long bungee cords - will this work on the cube or is there a better solution - or do I not need to worry about this.

 

It will be a fixed run and the floor will be chipping and amboise/hemcore or such like.

 

Thank you

Michelle

Great new about your cube! We have 2 Ikea curtains (85p each) and bungee cords over our run and with the hemcore on the floor works well.

 

I have also cut one down and put it around the run that is under the cube.

What a great one

We have clear plastic sheeting (bendy) that OH has attached with green tag things to the run - it goes from one side to the other but the bit under the cube is actually open to the elements (as is the door end) as I was worried they wouldn't get enough fresh air.
