Okay... we have a 20x20’ dog kennel run attached to our 12x16’ coop. We are struggling in two areas. Before I say anything else I would like to note that we would like to avoid a wooden frame just because of the price of wood right now. If there are any options using pipe or pvc or anything other than wood that would be greatly appreciated! We do not get snow very often at all and when we do it is usually barely a dusting so snow loads aren’t a worry for this roof. I am in AL.
Firstly, we are covering the top with wire to keep predators out. We need a brace or something for the wire to lay on top of to keep it from drooping so bad, and maybe something to also act as a brace for the panels? Since the run is so large the panels aren’t as sturdy as we would like.
Secondly, we need help on building a roof. We want to build a 10x20 lean-to type deal up against the coop so 1/2 the run is protected from rain. The coop is already sitting on a downhill slope so the water running into the other 1/2 of the run should run off pretty quickly... or would it be best to cover the whole thing? How in the world do we build this! Please help! I will post pictures of our current setup once it’s daylight. Thankyou in advance!
