Hi, yes I have the green link board and it has worked very well keeping the wood chip in. We put it on the outer edge of the skirt with about a metre in front of the cube run so only problem is that when they are FR they take delight in digging it everywhere. Have just ordered a run extension so are going to have to rethink, as it is I won't be able to open the run door because of the board so will put it inside on the door panel and move the rest up against the run. Hope that makes sense. Used lawn edging previously but this is much neater, expensive but good like all Omlet products.

Hi yes, I used to have it round my Cube run. My linkabord rectangle was 2m wide by 6.5m long (I had a 5m Cube train) and I laid path around the run (but inside the rectangle) to keep the lawn neat. Only very occasionally did I find woodchip outside the linkabord rectangle. Around 1m of extra length will be needed at the front of the run for the door.

 

Link a bord is made by this company, and you can buy individual bits and pieces in a number of colours from their website (or over the phone). The 1.2m lengths are exactly as long as the Cube run is wide.

 

It's worth comparing pricing and postage with what Omlet offers, even if what you want is exactly the same as the kits that Omlet sells.

I used PVC soffits, that I had left over when we had the house extension built, they work really well.

 

 

Because they are flexible they can "curve" around the girls FR area, they are really easy to cut to size,

I also have them around the WIR.

 

 

 

Not sure what price they are in comparison to the linkaboard.
