How to HC concrete deck base for coop

[DoeAndGander]

Wondering if anyone has used concrete deck post bases for support? I’m at a loss as to how to effectively put hardware cloth around them being they bump out

I assume you're going to extend the cloth down about a foot for a skirt anyway. Fold the cloth around the corner and crease to fit the exterior of the block. Cut a straight line up the corner and fold each side under the block. The weight of the coop should hold the bottom of the cloth down. If you need to, you could do that around all four corners, then install your normal piece of hardware cloth where your skirt folds out away from the coop like normal. This adds a bit of waste, but should be good insurance that you have everything secured. Hope that was descriptive enough to at least give you some more ideas.

I think it was! It definitely isn’t the look I was going for but I’ll put a planter in front of it or something. Thank you for your help!
