Brilliant stuff and there really helpful............

[Falkor]

A chicken breeder that I visited had these set up as WIR`s....they were great!

 

That seems like a good proce too...silly question as it probably says on the website but how long are the panels?

[tara]

The panels are 3m by 2m high they are brilliant.

[Redwing]

Thank you for that I have added it to my favourites

[jlo]

I have been considering something like this.

 

A lady up the road has a similar set up but I have what may turn out to be a dumb question....Can't the chooks get out/fox get in underneath where there seems to be a bit of a gap?

[tara]

No there are 2 ways of using it concrete them in with id say slabs or what we done is very good strong wood and cut the panels up to fit.Ill have to get a pic on here trouble is im no good at putting pics on.But there not wire and they dont ever rust no fox could chew through them

Thanks for that. I would be really grateful if you could get some pictures on to give this DIY Numbty a bit of an idea of how you have done it! Not to worry if not!

[Patricia W]

these look most interesting..

[cockadoodle1]

Not sure about these as a fox could climb up and over as they have been known to get over 6ft fences

[tara]

Ill show you what we have done all in all they now have 22 square metres of run whooooooooooooooooooooo

My other half has built the run. He built the duck one first then l wanted the chickens right next to them so then he built that one then a friend said she thought we would of used all the space and l thought what a good idea.It has saved our new grass and they have loads of room.Im so happy with it He has said he dose not want to work on it for a long time now hes fed up with chicken this duck that nag nag nag.But l dont have to keep on at him now whooooooo.We are going caming in 2 weeks so it had to be finished.

Thanks so much for that, these seem just what we need. We have built the WIR and as i wanted the largest space possible it has turned out to be such an odd shape we were having real difficulties of how we were gonna put a roof on. These seem perfect. Thank you!

Do you have any pictures of your run

[chick wiggle]

No pictures yet, cos although we now have the sides up, we are still trying to figure out how to fix the roof Its 5.7m long and goes from 1.9m at one end to 4.8m at the other, so not conventional shape hence the roof problem I just wanted as much space as poss for my chooks and left the construction to OH. now hes wishing he had put his foot down and stuck with a conventional rectangle, but thats just not good enough for my chooks!
