Hi

 

How much have your walk in runs cost to build.

i am thinking of building my own and want to know how much it will cost me roughly.

 

if you could include the amount it cos you and a pic of your run that would be a great help.

 

And also how many hens do you keep in them

 

the pics will help me see what i can get for my money.

Hi,

 

Ours was built this summer - it's 4.8M x 3.6M. In all I think it cost between £300-£350 - but we got the wire for free - which would have cost a lot. It's completely enclosed, wire all the way round including skirt of 2ft on the floor, and plastic corrugated roof.

 

 

We've got 3 bantams and 7 hybrids - I was going to get more - but this is enough given the size.

Ours is 4m by 2m and cost around £200, it is wire on roof and on floor.

Ours cost around £200. We've got twin wall polycarbonate roof panels which we bought over the internet, narrow gauge wire mesh for the sides, wood and concrete slabs. See my signature link for photos.

This is ours, we bought it flatpack from lindasgrove.com, and assembled it in aboout 2 hrs. I think it was £395 including the timber, roof, built in hinged door, mesh and all the fixings etc. We then spent about £50 or so on paving stones and welded mesh to make it fox-proof.
