    Wheel and run floor ideas for Coop/Tractor ?

    I'm building a DIY coop/tractor and its turning out kinda heavy. Any ideas for strong tires and how best to attach them? Also will the 2" fencing be OK for the run floor? I want to keep out predators but also let them scratch the earth... Here is a video of my progress Thanks Matt
