Hanging the food and water

[Tacswa3]

My "run" consists of a chain link fence perimeter and netting on the ceiling for aerial predator protection. Anyone have any neat and crafty ways to hang the feeder and water with a set up like this? Only thing I can think of is to run a board across the top of the fence spanning the width and hang them of the board.

that sounds about right unless you have a really long plant bracket? i am making the same kennel right now and feeders never crossed my mind.lol i am however, putting 2x4s across to support the chicken wire i bought for the roof. still havnt figured out how i am going to fasten it down

You can take a 4x4 post dig it into the ground vertical and screw another across the top making a T then hang the water from one side and food from the other. It doesn't need to be a very tall setup.

I used zip ties to fasten my netting to the top rail all around the fence.

If you have a few corners, take a few thin but strong poles, put them through the chain link near the corner, and out the chain link in another corner, take a rope, chain, wire, ect. tie it to the pole, and hang your feeder or water off of it, hope that works.

Let us know what you finally go with.

I went with the 4x4 "T" design. Hung the water on one side and the food on the other.

did you have to cement it in? im not strong enough for that but i bet its nice and handy. is this a run or coop for you? i thought i would have to put a solid roof up for rain and snow.
