Well, we're back from our hols so are now in a position to order our WIR! My excitement knows no bounds! Before I confirm the order with Chris at Bay Animal Housing, please could you help me with one last dilemma...........?

Option 1: eglu rasied off the ground (by slabs) and immediately adjacent to the WIR. Pop hole cut into weld mesh. Is this secure enough from foxes?

Option 2: retain first section of eglu run attached to eglu and have weld mesh cut to accomodate this. How do you secure the two parts?

 

I hope this makes sense - any replies would be gratefully received.

Hi

 

Sorry cant advise with regard to your popholes on your run, but wanted to say hi and welcome you back from your holidays. Hope you had great time. xx

Thanks, DD. We had an amazing holiday - all-inclusive luxury for a week was utter bliss!! Mind you, I'm back to school tomorrow so it's back to reality with an enormous bump! Our neighbours looked after the chooks whilst we were away and did a fab job. Your plans are moving on brilliantly - I've viewed your continuing progress and things look so exciting!! You and your husband have worked so hard - the photos are testament to your dedication.

It's good to be back!!

I have a classic on the outside on a small table connected to the WIR,

I got this idea from some else on here - sorry can't remember who.

 

A section of mesh is connected to the WIR by a strip of mesh fixed to the bolts under the cover of the Eglu. A upside down U was then cut out of the lower section of the WIR panel. The section connected to the Eglu was then woven with a strong length of wire (fiddly, long nose pliers & patience required) to connect. Here's a picture of mine - I'll see if I can find other pictures.

 

Its very secure and I don't have any problems with foxes

Mummy Hen, you are an absolute star!! Seriously, your information and photos are perfect. I'm off now to show my husband.

I LOVE this forum!!

Happy to have been of help

Shame you don't live nearer as my classic will be replaced by a cube this week and you could have had the mesh panel and mesh connection.

Never mind. Your information has been so useful.
