yes, we have had loads of snow, i measured 8 inches ontop of the Eglu, the weight of snow was so much it was causeing the mesh run to start to buckle!Poor old Edith doesnt like it, she took a small venture out this morning then quietly slipped back into the Eglu :lol: Guna go check on her now and shut the eglu door, bless that lonely chook!

I can really recommend the corrugated plastic sheets from B&Q (thanks to ANH for the tip). You can get two overlapping slightly, held down with bungie cords and that will keep all the snow and rain off and protect the run from getting wet or snowy. It works really well for keeping the run draught free in good weather too!

 

Good luck with the snow!

Yes - I got some with a smaller undulation - 1 inch rather than 3 inch - which I prefer.

I drilled a small hole in each corner and used some wire to attach to run (I don't like bungie cords - seen too many accidents!)
