Single hen

Not sure where to post this. Hope here is okay I am looking for some trellis 5ft tall and widths of 4ft, 3ft and 2ft6" to make my chickens run. I can only seem to find 6ft tall of varying widths and not 5ft. I emailed a company today who custom make them, but not heard back yet. I imagine they will be pricey and we are on a tight budget.

 

Edited to say does anyone know of anywhere we can get some (forgot to say that bit )

 

Thank you!

 

 

 

(I have posted this in the run inspiration topic, but I don't think that gets looked at much).

You always see trellis in the garden centres but I don't imagine it's very good quality if you're wanting it for a run . Would you be cheaper buying aviary panels, I wonder?#

The problem is its all 6ft tall so it would make the run a foot taller than our fence (don't think the neighbours would appreciate that). We saw some today in B&Q so if I don't hear back from the company I've contacted I think we will have to get that and cut it down. The trellis isn't that strong, but we will be stapelling wire netting over it and it will be fixed at the corners and joins of panels to posts so that should help strenghten it a bit. And we shall be making a roof, eventually.

I shall now go and look up avairy panels - not heard of them before, Thank you
