Making Lemonade [Selective Culling Project - very long term]

[Auntiejessi3]

$2,000 in materials in the cart for a 6' fence, posts, concrete, framing, nails, two gates, and horizontal boards to enclose 50x60. No roof, no relocation of the rabbits, and no delivery until after the coming holiday...

I may need to rethink this. Can repurpose a lot of the materials from the existing hen house, but not enough.

I believe it! Projects are pricey these days

By privacy fence screen, I mean something like this - Though less obstructive would be fine. I already use this material to screen the camper, it holds up well.

I put this around my entire chicken yard to prevent a neighbors dog from harassing my birds, I don't have that issue anymore, but it does look quite nice. My only complaint is the grass that grows in between the fence and the screen, a fine spray of diesel kills it for the summer

I think I'm going to down size for now, just rebuild the covered hen house, with a better way to shut the door in the evenings - 16x16 instead of 8x12. I should be able to do that for around $1,000, inclusive of the roof. That's an expense I can (barely) justify.

Contact construction companies and remodelers, verify if they'll let you dumpster dive. They may even be willing to sort and/or deliver, since they have to pay to dump construction debris. Go on CL and FB or similar looking for free chain link fencing.
