Uhohima Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I’m looking in to getting one of the omlet walk in runs, however I only need it for when I’m away, as my birds are free range in the garden usually. Does anyone know if the runs can be dismantled ok? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 You can dismantle it, but it won’t be a proces I would want to repeat often. The building alone will take you some time. Any walk-in run is at its best when it is in a permanent spot, well permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) I’m about to dismantle my WIR and am dreading it. It was bad enough building it. So, agree with Cats Tails it’s not for the faint hearted. As a first step you’d need to label each piece so you know where it goes and, find somewhere to store the pieces so you don’t lose them Good idea to have a run ready though, for even if you free range them now, if we’re hit by an Avian Flu outbreak, DEFRA may order us to confine them 24/7 in a covered run. For potentially months... so be prepared. Edited October 10, 2020 by Patricia W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 As a tip @Patricia W leave the run clips on the panels and you can fold some panels up, when still attached to each other. I have dismantled a WIR and 3 m Cube run in pouring rain and mud. It wasn’t fun... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 It does get easier the more times you do it. I’ve only dismantled and rebuilt my WIR once, but I’ve done my Go run lots of times and it now doesn’t take me very long at all. The only thing I would say is that you’ll probably have to buy new run clips fairly often as the repeated clipping and unclipping will fatigue the plastic so they’ll break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I have loads of run clips collected over the years, but will use cable ties wherever I can. Much easier on the fingers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alice137 Posted February 23, 2024 Share Posted February 23, 2024 Needing to dismantle and move/store my Omelet runs as we've sold our house. Can anyone suggest a good way to pack and store them so they don't get damaged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
