Ness3103 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 i just wondered how you fix them to your runs obviously i'd put hooks at the top but i'd like to secure the bottom somehow so it doesn't blow up in the wind. this is a pic of half my run http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/photo.php?pid=2731788&id=758333221 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I just made holes in it and used string and a bungee on one side (the top of the eglu run) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I use one on top of cube and then another down sides. I use Softies through the holes in top then bricks on the bottoms away from the cube and bungees to stop it all flapping about. Keeps them nice and dry and gives air channels. Except last night in the terrible winds when part blew off and rain got in. Just bungees would probably be ok. Edited to say just looked at your run Its great. I would tie the top and make holes and tie the sides and bottom. You could turn a hem to make a channel at the bottom to thread something heavy through to keep it down.

Olly Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Bulldog clips (they do rust after a while) or soft plastic pegs from Lakeland. I've also got the Omlet shade partly over the top of mine, and made holes in the shower curtain so the bungee clips can go through it.

FiggyPudding Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 not about the shower curtains...but i do like the table your eglu is on - where is it from ? I could do with one, make a bit more floor space in our run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I use hooks screwed into the run and make eyelets using one of those kits. I started off using dowling through "hems" made with tarpaulin tape (made them really easy to roll up) but the tarp tape just doesn't last . I'm now redoing my blinds with eyelets and top and bottom and hooks and bungees to hold them in place. (There are some photos in my sig link but that's when they were all new and clean!)

Redwing Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I put a tarp on my big run today, I attached the top two corners then used two bungees linked together to run all around the tarp so its snug to the run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I like the look of those........do they just clip shut or do you need a tool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 They do clip together and punch through the plastic as they do it, but I use a small hammer to make sure they are porperly clicked. I recycle them and have had 10 for about 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
