bennett Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Finally have managed to pick up a walk in aviary second hand 10 x8 with roof. So as my rubber chippings are causing me a problem what should i put down? I am going to clear of rubber chippings then slap underneath? or should i tightly deck underneath? I have seen so many wonderfull covered runs on omlet dont know what i should do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Concrete slabs. The deck will rot away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I've used Hemcore and Easibed - both fab - on soil. Works well for me (but you do need to cover your run roof!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Aubiose on top of paving slabs here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Easibed on top of paving slabs in ours, its brilliant such an improvement on the eglu run which was on soil. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Aubiose and Easibed on concrete it's great. Need to protect from rain though. I have a corrugated clear roof and pvc panels on one side - one can be removed. On other sides tarpaulins I can put up if rain threatened and wind from that direction.

sparkysmum Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hemcore or Easiebed on top of slabs here too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 looks like easibed it is then! Although i am guessing i will have to purchase from scats or countrywide or somewhere like that! porb cant nip down to pets at home lol It does have a roof, one side will be against my shed and the other will be against a fence and bushes so i think it should be ok, maybe i could purchase a nice cath kidston awning for the other side ! lol My hubby not impressed though as one panel is 8ft by 6ft so he is gonna have to strap to the roof rack and drive the long way home, which is about an hour from here, oh well he will get over it!

francesca88 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Is it possible to use Easibed/Aubiose on soil rather than paving slabs, or will it just rot down with the damp? Am not liking the prospect of having the level the ground in my 9x6 run...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 i am guessing it needs to be patio slabbed first as otherwise the same problem with mud ect, also i guess it easy to get rid of bedding from slabs as you can sweep all up rather than racking it... my run is no where near level, especially as we have had a mole move in, however i am going to level is as much as i can and just put sand underthem (well when i say me what i actually mean is the husband!
