Any Ideas for A Run Roof.........CHEAP

[agnes_day]

we bought a big sheet of plywood for 6 dollars from lowes..its lasted forever!

looks crappy though but when you have tons of animals and kids in and out of the yard..its gonna look crappy anyways!

The run is 24x16. It already has hard ware wire on top and then a tarp which gets laden with ice and snow. It's not quite level but there's not much of a pitch.

I have a friend who works at a semi trailer repair shop who gives me as much used chemlite as I can handle. Chemlite is a fiberglass material used for semi trailer roofing it lets light in and keeps weather out. You may have to patch a few holes in it but, its free! You should check in your area for a shop that repairs these types of trailers, they will probably give it to just for hauling it away. I use it for siding and roofs. It also helps keep it out of the local landfill.

Green plastic stuff...you know, that wavy pattern 4x8. They were on sale at Lowes for $5/sheet I needed 4.

When I built a coop for Gramps, I put an ad on craigslist looking for old galvanized barn roof material and had several replies. Free.
