Thanks so much for the help. I'm pricing it now. Does the coroplast have to be protected by anything else or is it good as a stand alobw insulation material?I run firring strips (2"x 1") as a backing against the hog panels and chicken wire and use 1" wood screws to directly secure the Coroplast panels to the sides of the run. They are feather light but so durable that there is little wear after putting them up each winter and taking them down each spring.
Admittedly, Coroplast involved an initial financial investment, but unlike plastic sheeting and tarps, solar radiation and wind have no effect on them so no replacement expense needs to be factored in.
The photos show one section of my run that has the Cloroplast panels fastened to the side beside permanent recycled glass doors that act as wind breaks during the intense spring winds here in the Rockies.
