Luvachicken Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I was just wondering where you get your rain covers from ? I've just had a look at Flyte So Fancy, but although theirs look good, they are quite expensive. I also looked at chickencoopsdirect and they seemed to have some nice ones too but not sure if they fit an Omlet run. It is too rainy to go and measure at the moment but just wondered the best place to get one from. The cover they have at the moment is full of holes, so the run is pretty wet today and so are their feet, so I really do need to get them a new one. We've had 65mm of rain so far today.

Cat tails Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I got the tarp for my non-Omlet run on a website. There must be sites that allow you to order to specific size. Mine was about €110 for a reinforced tarp of about 2,5 by 2 meters. My dad had one made to measure by a lady who makes tents, sails and such. It was pricey, but fits amazingly well and he can roll up the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 Oh yes @Cat tails, I remember you said about your dad's one before. I will go and measure before the next dollop of rain comes and see what I can find. It was only that I was left unattended this afternoon and could eye up whatever I fancied 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Mine are glass clear tarpaulins from tarpaflex. They’re good when they’re new but to be honest I’m not that impressed by their endurance. They seem to go brittle in the sun and start to get holes and cracks in within 12 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 Thanks @mullethunter that is good to know. The one we have now came from ebay but it is ancient and we can't find where we got it from. It probably would have survived for longer if next door's acorns hadn't punctured holes all over it.

ajm200 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I bought clear market tarps to cover the wire on our converted greenhouse. The sort stall holders use. Only use them when it is really awful weather or hubby waters the grass as he alwats gets the feeders wet. Bought from EBay. Bought elasticated ties to secure them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
