It depends on your budget, but I found a supplier of hdpe sheets. Basically the white plastic cutting board material. I got 4x8 sheets that were half inch thick. Very easy to work with and very easy to clean and super hygienic. I fit the bottom tight and the weight holds it. I also went part way up my walls too and for that I screwed it on. Then I siliconed the corners. I seen at my Lowe’s today a sheet of vinyl board that looked similar and was rated for outside use. It was much cheaper.

Pretty slick!
Wondering how well the birds can get up and down from those roosts, spacing looks tight?

I actually took the second roost bar out for now. The ang,e of the photo is deceiving there was over 18 inches between them. With the one roost bar , half the girls go to one end and half to the other and there is always about two feet left empty in the centre. Next year I am going to cover the top half of the walls with tounge and groove wood siding for a nicer look. I had to stop at this piping this year as my wife was starting to think I was crazy. These are going to be some expensive eggs lol

What kind of wire mesh donyou have over your windows, is it sturdy? An whats the hole spacing on it?

I used 1/2” hardware cloth. ( tip black is easier to see through ) then I have plexi glass sliding window panes to close if I needed. I used that hardware cloth on my run as well. All stapled it’s 1.5” stainless steel staples.
