Hello - Just joined

I have several coops and the litter goes into our compost pile. Good luck with your birds and have fun...

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Nice setup.
I would pull up the all the pavers and install a 2' wide predator apron made of 1/2" hardware cloth all the way around the set up. Attach it to the base of the coop/run with heavy duty poultry staples or screws with fender washers and pin down the outer edge with HD landscape pins.

@DobieLover et al, we bought 2"x3" hardware cloth for the apron around our run... I'd seen it on the Carolina Coop site and thought that was sufficient. We have not installed it yet. Do I need to use hardware cloth instead, smaller openings in the wires?

Also, what are "poultry staples" - are they the same as electrical U-
staples? Thanks.
