I am in the final stages of building my coop and we plan to attach it to a 12x18x6 chain link dog kennel. We plan to wrap it in hardware cloth and are still trying to figure out what we will do for the top cover. I need some examples. If anyone has pictures to show off I would be grateful!
Another question to add - How are you "wrapping the chain link" I cant seem to get my head around how we are going to wrap the HWC and attach it to the chain link. Would zip ties work? Or do we need to get something else?

We used 2 (12x18) tarps over the top and fixed them tight w/ zip ties and a couple of bungie cords. We used 2 umbrella/tent spreaders in the middle of each run to tighten the tension of the tarp & to allow rain & snow to run off as to not accumulate on the tarp (not to mention to offer shade from the scorching sun during the summer months). Seems to be working well for my silkies and ameraucanas...good luck!
