I think the cattle panel hoop run has won and I'm going to do the same as you have with the ridge beam. It's great to know that it can handle snow! Thanks for the help! At least now I've got a plan for summer and some coops and runs to copy :)

I'm in the design phase and am considering what to buy for my garden and whether to buy another for my run or whether to build a cattle panel style for that (the run, not the coop, that is going to be a shed). High tunnels tend to be wider than cattle panels can do but I can adjust the lengths...

I've got galvanized cans where I keep my horse feed for that reason so I'm thinking I'll do the same as you for my chickens. I'm reading and researching and looking forward with eager anticipation to summertime when I hope to have a plan and start making it happen!

I'm researching covered runs for my first flock which will not be free ranged outside of their run, and I've seen some great cattle-panel hoop runs posted here. I'm wondering about converting a garden high tunnel in a similar way, with the skirting and hardware cloth around the lower 3 ft. The...
