ubereglu Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hiya, Can anyone tell me how big the winter shades are? I know they cover the whole run, but what are the measurements. I want to try and make an alternative one! Either that or does anyone have a spare/old/unused ikea shower curtain they're willing to give me?

Egluntyne Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I'm sure I've got one in the shed. Let me have a look tomorrow. **Note to self...look for shower curtain tomorrow** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I've got some Liz, but they're packed up in boxes and at Phil's house at the moment - sorry. We need to go to IKEA soon though, so if no-one else has one I can get one for you. Have you tried in local hardware stores? You will find that you need to cut long thin triangles off the end that is nearest to the eglu. If you look in my album link, there are some pix there I think.

Chicken Licken Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Or just fold the ends under . My girls are currently underneath a tesco shower curtain!! The Ikea one broke in the strong winds, the girls don't seem to mind and fingers crossed will be moving into a newly constructed bigger run next week end ( fingers crossed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 One plain Ikea Shower curtain found in shed. It's yours if you want it. PM me with details...but check that it's OK to do so first with your folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Well I went to the local s"Ooops, word censored!"store this morning and found some plastic which is perfect for a run cover! It's clear too. So thanks for all the offers, but I don't need it! Just a quick question...How do you attach the cover onto the run? What sort of clips do you need?

ubereglu Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Thanks for that Clare! I will have a go at making some. I'm sure we have some elastic somewhere and some s"Ooops, word censored!" metal I can bend to that shape. A job to do tomorrow! My list is growing!

The Dogmother Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 You remind me of my old Brown Owl when I was a Brownie, she used to say 'A Brownie is never bored' Too right - I am the same and always have something to do. Rosie has just started saying 'I am bored' all the time. I soon find her something to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 get smallest tarpaulin from Band Q for about £4 .fold it accordingly,apply some bubgees and you will have a much better winter run for far less money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Can I buy your shower curtain Egluntine?

The Dogmother Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Perhaps we ought to have a 'general exchange' area then I'm not going ot IKEA for a while, but will happily let people know and take orders if I am going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I'm banned from Ikea! Last time I went in for tea lights and spent £600 OH won't let me go unaccompanied General exchange sounds like a good idea Clare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
