Want to preface this post by saying that I only let my girls out in the grass run when I‘m sitting with them, as there is still a spot I need to attach hardware cloth to, and my little rigged tunnel won’t stop a dog. Most of it has two feet of the coated green HW cloth - can’t see it that well in the pic.
I recently bought an Omlet run to supplement my sand run (which was once grass). It’s bigger than I imagined (measuring and I are not friends - don’t ask how many times I’ve had to send pictures or even furniture back).
Anyway, my plan was to move it around the yard to keep them on nice grass. The tunnel that will attach it to the sand run will be PVC and HW cloth so it bends around as I need it to. The run is so big that I can’t pull it around myself. I tried putting a bunch of those slick furniture movers under the posts, and it worked better, but still not ideal.
It is not digging predator proof, but they only have access while I’m home - my office overlooks it - and I have a HW cloth door that’s closed and blocks their access (or predator access to the sand coop) when I’m gone. At night they’re in a locked barn coop. So, net-net, I wasn’t planning on putting cloth around the outside or making it any harder to move than it is.
Any thoughts from engineers or creative-minded people? What else would make it easier to slide around the yard? The grass pic is from a week’s worth of ’grazing’. I have eight girls and they love their grass!
