Rather than fence in my patio which faces my wonderful backyard, I kind of wanted to make a run that my little poopers could run amuck in. Right now they make the biggest mess on my back patio and I would kind of like it to stay cleaner. So by making a run, they can be outside and not completely confined to the coop... I won't lose their eggs, and I can still let them tear up my backyard in the afternoons/evenings and on weekends when I can watch them.
My question then, what to use as a liner along the bottom of the coop. I thought about buying 4x6 posts, staining them with waterproof stain and laying them along the ground for a liner. Have you seen how much 4x6 posts cost though? Not the best option if I want to make a decent run. I wonder though if anyone knows of a place to get old railroad trusses or cheap used lumber that would serve for this purpose.
Thanks for any idears.
