Eglu Cube Coop For Sale

[ISCA]

I am having a coop and run at the bottom of my garden and I intend to have the area underneath slabbed over with concrete slabs so I can put auboise down. I am assuming the slabbing will be a good deterent against foxes digging under the run, but I just wondered how much skirting around the side of the coop would be needed? The run/ coop is 12 foot x 6 foot so I thought 1.5 foot extra around the side would suffice? (i.e. 15 foot x 9 foot of slabbing). Would you agree

 

Also, if anyone knows of a reputable tradesperson in the Exeter area who could lay down the slabbing for me, please could you let me know? Thanks

I got my slabbs from free cycle!! enough to do half my wir!! (whic is quiet big)

My WIR just sits on slabs round the edge but you'll see how much is on the outside from the link in my signature. It's just right and makes getting to the eglu/compost bin so much easier (and cleaner!).

Hi ISCA. I was chatting to my handyman about the same question today. We reckon half a slab outside of the run (so run wood sits half way across the slab - if you get my meaning). But this depends on how big the slabs are. I was thinking of the same size as Andrew - think those are 600x600 - but they may be 400x400.

 

Could do with a construction plan couldn't we?!

 

Anyway, I'll ask Tony when he delivers my WIR on Friday and will let you know then.

 

Cheers.

 

PS Am a bit further up the M5 than you - in village outside of Taunton. My handyman is a local chap and probably Exeter is a bit far!

Thanks Donna.

 

I have found a local gardener who is going to sort out my new garden for me (it needs a grass lawn instead of a moss lawn!!!) and he lays patios , so he will put down some slabs for me. I have asked for a 1.5 ft circumference around the edge of the coop and run, so 15x9 ft. area of slabs for the 12x6 ft. run.

 

That may help in clearing up the auboise too
