chuckmum6 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I have just got an Eglu , and am looking for a suitable cover for it. The glass tarp I've got on the cube is great, but a tarp for the eglu seems to only come in 2m x 2.4m too big? Do you know anywhere that sells a clear shower curtain or the right glass sized tarp? I will (hopefully) have chicks in the eglu and guinea pigs after that so could do with a good cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Ikea shower curtains cover most of the run and at less than £1 each this makes them a bargain! I used the glass tarp and put a crease down the middle to make it look neat Something that works and fits perfectly though is a sheet or two of corrugated plastic from a DIY store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Oh you must consider clear corrugated plastic sheet (£6 a sheet from Wickes or B&Q). I absolutely have ANH to thank for first posting the idea and pics many moons ago. Here's my eglu, I have 3 sheets, but you could get away with 2, held in place with cheap bungee cords from Poundland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsw Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I have to agree with Hen Watch, clear corrugated plastic sheets held in place with bungee cord is a very good solution. Easy to take off when it gets hot, quick to add if it rains. I just have the two sheets, I overlap them more in good weather, spread them apart when rain is forecast. This picture was taken a while ago, but it will give you an idea of how it all works. These days I have a WIR, but the rabbit now lives in the Eglu run and I still use the corrugated plastic sheet to protect her from the worst of the elements.
