Ruth Elsdon Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 We have ordered a Eglu go up. We are building our own chicken run to fit into and maximise the space we have in the garden. Is there a way to attach the Eglu go up to the end of our chicken run or will it have to go inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable ties and lots of them! I have my Go Up attached to a non Omlet run too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats&Chickens Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 where is this run from and is that metal mesh? Is there mesh on top? I have made a play pen using picket fence and chicken wire, but struggling with the top, as had industrial pigeon netting over it but the fox just sat and chewed a hole in it.... Also, do you let your chickens out beyond this run? I have been feeling very guilty about not letting them out of the run (one squawks to be let out) but it is much bigger than this and for only 3 birds, so am I worrying about nothing?! Their run is about 4.5m long by 1.3m wide and has a section that is 2m high Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 It’s my own design. Made from scaffolding with a type of garden mesh around it. No mesh on top but a shade tarp or right now a transparent tarp against the rain. Absolutely not fox proof, but that’s not needed where I live.

Patricia W Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Don’t worry about confining them as long as they have space. I have 3 bantams in a huge run with perches etc. I can’t let them free range where we are and especially as one flies! Yes, really. Over 6 ft fences then over the next fence etc.., As Cats Tails says, you can do wonders with cable ties. If you want a fox and rodent proof run, slab the floor then use small gauge weldmesh on the panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I can really recommend using scaffolding though. Very easy and sturdy. I have aluminium pipes, so it’s light weight, but you could do steel. I had a website that cuts everything to size too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrooter99 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 hi was trying not to waste a whole run, was wondering whether just a extension piece would fit onto the eglu go , like the first piece of a run? is it the same fit and shape would it work. As i want to do similar to you.thanks sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 What type of run or extension are you talking about? Otherwise we might give you the wrong advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Go run starts a bit narrower and sort of fans out. Also the bits that attach to the actual coop are separate small pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
