chuckmum6 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 My girls have finally killed the garden and I am now really thinking that they need to be housed in a WIR run, it is highly likely that we will be moving in the coming months, so how transportable are bay housing or aviaries4u WIR? Or do I do the logical thing and wait? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I can only speak for Aviaries4U - they should be transportable, as they are made of a series of panels all screwed together, but they are quite large (mine arrived on a trailer, I seem to recall) and it would be an hour or so's work to dismantle it all. The other consideration is that if you are moving, you might choose a different size/shape of run than the one you would choose for your present garden. It would be really annoying to buy one and then find it just wouldn't fit where you wanted it to go at the new place. I think my feeling would be to wait, could you just confine your girls to the Omlet run a bit more for the time being, to give the garden a chance to recover?

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I think I'd wait too (hard as it'll be ). You'll be busy enough moving, without having to dismantle a WIR and then build it again at the other end . Could you buy some netting in the meantime to help your garden recover? That'll be useful at your new house too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaKiw1 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 An Omlet WIR is a very 'moveable' option. It's robust and stable in situ but also comes apart eassily to move and re-erect. Lots of posts on the forum about it if you search by 'Omlet WIR'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yes, I agree about waiting until we move (still got to find the right house though , garden is the first thing I look at). I had also wondered about an Omlet WIR run which I know I can dismantle easily. I do have netting and use it, but the garden will have to be viewed by potential buyers as a well fertilised project! Viewing three houses next week, so fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clucker1 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Really pleased with my avaries 4u wir. I even put parts of it up! As a non DIYER, it is really easy to do. So, I'd wait until you have moved and then look into it. Good luck with your house move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Has anyone used Cotswoldwood? They have a nice run with an apex roof. http://www.thecotswoldwoodcompany.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=67_82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 They look great, bit more expensive than Bay but l love the pitched roof. If you go for Bay then predrill the screwholes if you want to take it apart again to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky Chooky Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I had also wondered about an Omlet WIR run which I know I can dismantle easily. That was one of the reasons for getting my Omlet WIR and the fact that it blends really well into the garden...I love it! Any luck with the house hunting?

chuckmum6 Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Any luck with the house hunting? No, I can't find anything I like, off again today to look at another. It is only 15/20 minutes closer to work (currently 45 mins away), so not very much closer. Nothing really grabbing me in the Long Eaton area (this where we teach and kids go to school)I real want a village nearby, but there are very few without aeroplane virtually landing in the garden or too close to the M1. We are going to have to compromise soon as oldest starts Saturday school in Sept , can't bear another day driving there again each week, with only Sunday off.

Plum Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 What about looking over towards Ticknall or Repton, Melbourne way? Long Eaton is just off A50 so quick drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
