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

[Raina]

B&Q might sell some plastic sheeting?

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.

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

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!

thanks for all the replies

 

 

will get it sorted at weekend

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.

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
