Covering the run help

[Chickenma65]

I am looking for the easiest way to cover the run in time for winter. How would I do this with my set up? I will also add plastic around the sides. Everyone thinks i’m nuts for wanting to cover the run.

Covering the run now is a lot easier than trying to shovel out snow or figure out what to do about messy mud.

Look at fiberglass corrugated panels. That's what I used. East quick installation and snow and rain just runs right off.

How would I do this with my set up?

First you'll need to add some framing to support what ever roofing you use....and the amount of snow you might get.

Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, (laptop version shown), then it's always there!

You aren't nuts, you are smart. I would recommend predator proofing the top and putting something that isn't going to collapse if snow falls on top of it. Therefore, you'll probably have to add some support columns and slope it somewhat so the snow slides off. Here is a good infographic on predator proofing - http://www.poultrydvm.com/featured-infographic/tips-for-protecting-poultry-from-predators
