Bought used 10x10 run to put in 8x10 garden spot

That's a gate so you can't just move it over a little, right?

How about putting it partially under that roof?

There are two 4x4 set in cement sitting in the way.

But they'd end up inside that kennel by 2 feet, wouldn't they?

I'm not good at ASCII art but:

Drat. It looks perfect in the text window but the program refuses to accept the extra spaces to line everything up correctly. Sorry. I don't know how to show it better.

This is an alternate site, I could use 1/4 spray nozzles on two sprinkler heads. They would have fence to block west winds which are crazy ugly winter and spring. Sunny in morning and shade on hot summer days...What do you think?

That looks like it might work!

That sounds like a wonderful site. Afternoon shade and a good wind-block is a great combination.

Boy howdy, Kicking myself all the way. I only stopped to look at her beautiful flowers as I've told her several times when I drive by. I see the run and ask if she is using...it went from pure elation to lowest low when I measured.

I agree too! it may look a bit cluttered in the backyard but the chickens and I are the only ones that will see it! This shed is never used but it would take over $150 to convert, It's on the other side of existing coup run.

If the shed isn't used, and the new run would fit in that spot, I'd be removing that shed.

Possibly a couple of the walls could be persuaded to be no-longer-square -- something like

If you see what I mean. You'd need to 'fill in' some of the triangles with additional material but it might be worth it.

Can you use two sides and the roof, and replace the other two sides with something else?

(I've seen some styles of dog runs where that could work, and some that would not, and I don't know what type yours is.)
