Our run is 20 by 30ft what we did was made a sloped roof so snow and rain would fall off. It was challenging since our run is so large. My husband made the left part of the run posts I think 10ft tall the right side posts are 7ft tall with beams going across to hold the metal roofing. We then...

I've tried all different types of bedding in my chicken coops and duck houses woodchips were great in all my runs however in the coops shavings straw coffee grounds nothing was making me happy.

I have a 20 by 30 ft metal dog kennel that we put metal roofing on. It was a pain since the run is so large and we wanted it sloped for snow and rain. We had to make one side 12 ft then other side 7ft so we could have a decent slop with some support beams to hold the weight of the roofing and...
