Look for black colored Zip ties, most of them are uv rated and will hold up well to the elements.
Thomas and bettes electrical wire ties(zip ties) are a little more expensive, but they are well worth the money in my opinion:^}

Posts set in concrete, wood frame, and deer net stapled nailed to the frame, for the top. For the sides you can use chicken wire for a safer run or vinyl fence for better look.

This is my first try at a "chicken hut" as I call it.
When I got my chickens last summer I inherited a little chicken hut with them. after some issues I had with the desighn I started looking around at possible solutions, I decided I liked the a-frame idea. I had the 2X4, plywood, handles and wheels in my barn. A freind had the metal roof left from his barn, so really all I had to pick up were a few latches and the fenceing. In the near furture there will be an electric fence box in the top corner and hot wire running along the bottom on the outside at 6" and 12". I just found this sight. I wish I had seen it a bit sooner to collect some ideas, but I am pretty happy with how my hut turned out.
This requires 2 people to move, but is not to big of a back breaker ( I am 23 though). Currently houseing 4 it will be housing 10.
