buying a greenhouse to serve partly as a chicken run

[Chicken-poodle]

I want a greenhouse, but also my girls need more room. I have space for a greenhouse next to my current coop/run, which I would attach with a chicken tunnel. Looking at greenhouse kits like the one shown below. I have two questions: how do I make a greenhouse like this predator proof? Do I put hardware cloth on the inside (to keep it looking attractive on the outside), and how do I attach it to the skeleton without substantially encroaching on the interior space?

Second question has to do with keeping the birds separate from some of the plants- creating an interior wall. It would be nice if the wall could be moved so I could adjust the spaces according to changing needs.

This is a heavy-duty greenhouse tarp that covers a pen that's 4' high, and the pen panels have HWC. That wooden box is what he made a mini-coop out of for that end, as this is a growout pen.



So building one is one idea.

To use the kind in your picture, you should be able to bend the HWC to fit inside of it and attach it with cable ties/zip ties. It's not like you have to go up the whole height of it. I would think 4 -5' or up to that last bar before the peak would be good.

Then at the point you don't want chickens to go in, you could use chicken wire inside there and make a fence.
