fluffyknickers Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I have the tarp all the way across the hens run - clear one. I am wondering about removing it and just putting the eglu cover on now the weather getting a LITTLE better. When are you removing yours or are you never? Hopefully all going to plan I wont have to worry as waiting for the WIR to be made but in the meantime... Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 My tarp is attached all year round as we never have proper seasons! So I check the forecast before going to work/going out and if they predict "dry and sunny" I pull back the tarp and roll up my omlet shades (I use both), if it's forecast "slight chance of rain" I will partly roll them back. If "heavy rain" like today - I leave them all down. It's all very complicated you see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franklyrabbit Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 My run is for the rabbits but what we've done in the last week is remove most of the layers of tarps (we ended up with about 4 layers). We have one layer left cos of the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I just leave the side down where the rain is coming from but it does mean you keep checking the forcast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Yep, another forecast checker here too I leave it up all year and just tie it back or let it down according to weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
