simone Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 WIR is leaking in places we have tarpaulin but is not great,as letting water drips in few places have a bucket in one bit catching it so no puddles where can get plastic sheeting that is water proof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raina Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 B&Q might sell some plastic sheeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly7 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I bought an excellent tarpaulin from Halfords. They sell them in various sizes and I have attached it with bungees from a sports shop, but I do know that Halfords sell them as well. I had to put mine up in a bit of an emergency when my WIR roof was leaking. I am very happy with what I have now! Good Luck Simone.

Redwing Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 tarpaflex clear glass tarpaulins are great, they are thick and very strong with the added benefit of being see through! Corrugated sheets from B&Q or Wickes are also good and can be attached to an Eglu or cube run with bungees - if attaching to a bigger run I would recommend fitting them to roof battens properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarahsausage Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I got some plastic sheeting from the garden centre, it was only £1.50ish per metre so really cheap to replace if it ever needs replacing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon_blackwell1 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Sorry to be dim, but what is the issue with a bit of rain getting into a WIR? Only half of the run attached to my eglu is covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 If you use any kind of horse bedding, it is very absorbant and will just soak up all the rain and become smelly and yucky. Obviously soil would be the same. The combination of rain and chicken poo is not pleasant in an enclosed area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
