A fastener or bracket to attach cattle panel to door frame

Hog rings are another way to clamp the wire to itself. Or you can weave them together with a length of wire.

I was so frustrated from trying to bend the wire from the panels on Saturday I was doubting the design of including the cattle panel on the front and back But after a break, I went out back on Sunday and think it's beautiful again. ~:>

Moving the coop off the back slab into the yard spot! Aaaaaah!

Our yard it not very large but I had to do it in three parts because the coop is fairly heavy, it was the middle of the day (HOT), and I need larger wheels and better (thicker) rope to hold onto when I lift and pull the other side. I think I just completed a strong woman event.

Update from way back when on September 5th. Hahaaha! All of my spare moments are spent taking care of the chicks, eating, going to work, sleeping, and working on the coop! Thank you everyone who gave advice. Next time, I'll just bend the fence ends at 180 angle back instead of doing the funky wraps. I was struggling before I brought out the channel locks and ended up with this funkiness. The whole thing is getting covered by a tarp so it/s not so huge of a deal. Learning as I go! Thanks again! I worked in light rain for about an hour tonight cutting the rest of the hardware cloth and draping it over the hoop. Tomorrow I hope to take the chicks in it for some play time!

Make sure to post pics. It's always an exciting day when the birds first get to enjoy all the hard work you put in for them .

One other option might be to use screws and fender washers.

You would just have to place them so the fence can not move from side to side or up and down.

This is how I attach welded wire. Simple. Box of washers and box of 1" screws.

Just for future notice chickens can easly fit through cattle panal you might want to add some chicken wire to it. We have cattle panal with chicken wire and horse panel (2x4) squares that small chickens can get out of about a month old hens. And cats and other predatures like raccoons ect can get in as well.

Thanks, if I didn't mention it in a pervious post, the whole hoop is being covered in 1/2 hardware cloth. It never hurts to remind people because predators are one of the toughest things about raising chickens.
