Agrees with Terry's advice.....solid roof, large over hangs.
Also make sure any significant run off from roofs, hardscaping, surrounding area, etc is routed away from run area using swales, trenches, gutters, etc.
Forget the sand, was a big fad, some still swear by it...and it can work well in...
@TerryH I would think that using a post hole digger for a couple minutes would qualify you to move some of those timbers....
....just move 1 or 2 a day until they're all outta the way. :D
Good Stuff!!
Are they going in to roost in the coop on their own after their day of play in the run?
Love the kickstand!
What's the purpose of the landscape timbers at the juncture of the walls and the aprons?
It may take some cajoling to get them out, sprinkling some treats on the ramp and stump could help.
Then getting them back inside ..hahaha...that could be a challenge and take some time to get in the habit of going back in to roost at dusk.
Like the encouragement and delight when your kids first...
It takes them some time to venture into a space....great pic, love the peekers out the pop door!
Apron over grass looks good, should be able to mow right over it...unless you mow really short.
Just dawned on me, replacing the railroad ties over the other aprons effectively shortened your apron...
Nice!!
I guess it's better to be rained on than rained out.
Yeah, I only got half done of what I wanted to do today too.
Does this build drastically change the egress/traffic patterns of your property activities?
Run's looking awesome....hand feeding pic is precious.
My hoop coop build progress will be circumvented again today by the need for more shade cloth to be installed on my main run.
