My girls live in a wired run on an allotment. We've got tarpaulin over the roof which has been fine in terms of keeping the girls dry and giving them shade, but I'm getting to the point that I need a solid roof.

 

The run is all metal frame. It's 1m at its lowest point and about 2.5m at the apex. What sort of roofing material would be best, given that I don't have any wood to screw it in to? Am I better using a clear (ish) type to allow valuable light in over the winter? The sides are half open - there is polycarbonate sheeting around the sides that are most exposed to the weather.

 

It also needs to be fox proof...

 

Ideas please? :? Thanks :)

Without wood as a fixing point it could be awkward.

 

Do you have any photos?

 

I might suggest some metal poles running between the vertical walls, if these could perhaps be drilled and bolted into the existing metal frame? Then, if you space them correctly, you should be able to affix some corrugated roofing boards using zip ties to the poles.

 

If you have any photos though we could be more helpful in our suggestions. :D

 

Hope that helps...
