Hi all!
We have to get our tractor finished this weekend (it's a converted dog house connected to a run we're building). Here's my question - has anyone ever used something like plywood to cover a run? It will only be about 2 feet tall, so I know we need something strong. We were going to use hardware cloth all around the run (and still will on the sides) but then I thought maybe we could use something to keep them protected from the rain and eventually the snow (we're in NH) if we put something solid on top. Is there a better material? The top will run about 8' x 4', which appears to be exactly the right size for plywood so I thought maybe that would work...
Any thoughts? Would it rot too quickly? Is there something better you can suggest?
Thanks!
