Wow. Thank you so much for all that help. It gives me a lot of ideas I can use. The panel system looks promising. In that one link, I was surprised to see that they installed their panels horizontally. I suppose that helps if you want to use...
Thank you for that. I'm not sure how I could adjust that plan to make it the size I want. I does mention spacing the posts at the right width to fit the roll of wire. I figured I would do it that way, once I know what size rolls of wire I will buy.

I have searched and searched, and I cannot seem to find any plans for sale that would tell me how exactly to build a walk-in chicken run. There are tons and TONS of photos and threads of other folks' great ideas and awesome set ups, but nowhere do I find plans, lists of materials and detailed...
