How to ACTUALLY build run from 2x4's..?

Polska Królowa, hey, I'm Polish too!


But yea, I will just go with the T-Posts and 2 gates somehow, lol. I'll put hardware cloth a foot flat on the ground and then tie bird netting to the posts and every 4-6in along the fence edge in between.

Anyone with pictures of their T-Post runs? Any pics of large T-Post runs?

With bird/deer netting on top, this run isn't going to be predator secure. The netting will keep out hawks during the daytime, but all the climbing night time predators will rip right through it.

So I guess you're planning to use this run for daytime and lock your chickens up in a secure coop at night?

If you can find some free "used" lumber, that would be a great help with the cost. We used our old deck boards and built an A-frame.

Yes, it would be a daytime thing.

Build the door frame out of wood so you can attach a door hinges to it. The other way is to use the chain link fence gates and posts. I built my door with left over Cedar 2x2s from my house remodel. I secured the door frame to the ground by fastening them to wooden stakes made out of 2x2 as well. and driven as far into the ground as possible. This supports the door just fine which is 2x2 and hardware cloth.
