I have coop envy!

I LOVE IT. And love all the signage. (peep show).

So explain how you did the run and what you used. I think that looks how we are going to do ours.

Its 10 x 20 I got on Craigslist and found some dog kennel panels. That's what I did to enclose the roof too! works great! I got a tarp and covered the first 15 foot of the run so they would have a place to get out of the rain but still be outside. I got some conduit straps and attached it to the coop and put a t-post on the far end to anchor it down.I ran the hardware cloth around the bottom and aproned it out on the ground to keep predators out, so far its working great!

I think that is pretty similiar to what we are doing. We have an old dog run (HUGE) made out of welded wire mesh. We will use that for walls of run then run around the bottom and apron it out like you did. How far did you go? Did you dig it in to ground or lay on top?

Just layed in on top probably 12" out from the bottom is what I did. didn't take long at all for the grass to grow through it! Right now its just zip tied to the kennels, You can see my 3 year olds handy work with the zip ties if you look close. lol I am still trying to decide what to use to permanently attach it so if you have any suggestions there I am all ears! Thanks to everybody for the compliments!
