Paola Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 You cannot tell from the photo but the area of the garden is slopping, its a real pain So the Eglu and run was not level. OH had the idea of putting it on decking so that it was nice and level and you can stay relatively clean while going to the Eglu The area under the run is not on the decking so my girls can scratch around happily in the dirt. He also put the run skirt under the decking on top of the decking frame I am so pleased with it, he worked so hard. He did it all in a day Lastly he brought me a little plastic shed and added a light that I keep all my chicken stuff in (behind the plant) He was fed up of finding feed all over the garage where DS throws it around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paola Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 The shed is the same style as the first one Palmer07 but larger The lid opens up and is supported by side arms, also has two large doors at the front. Very handy It comes with shelf brackets but no shelves so OH made one up for me I keep spice, garlic etc on the shelf, I have some Ikea storage bin things for my corn and bedding and a plastic bin for me pellets.
