angeluk69 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Yay!! I've been umming and arring about which sort of WIR to go for size wise, trying to figure out if we could do a good job cheaply ourselves, comparing quotes etc etc...and i've done it!! Because of the space we have available in my veg patch, of which the chooks have been allocated a third (approx 9ft x 12ft) and it backing onto a 6ft fence we only need 3 sides, which keeps the costs down we are going to have a wire/netting roof for the time being as I am concerned about the chooks getting out, but also concerned as we have a colony of red kites about. The covered house will be staying in the WIR and to provide shelter we have a wooden crate from my OH's work which is a Jimmy Choo one, but I've renamed it the Jimmy Chook crate which can be turned on its side to provide a lovely shaded area. I'm really excited now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabe smallholder Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 So jealous! we have searched endlessly trying to source a WIR which was the right size, right gauge wire, local company etc. In the end we've decided to do it ourselves which I'm sure will be great and a real sense of achievement but in the meantime I'm stressing slightly; what if it isn't right, what if it collapse? (such faith I have!) I hope your WIR is fabulous and all that you want. Perhaps some pictures when its all set up? Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
