Need a new, improved run. Pics please!

For Ccort: sorry don't have pics but here are the lattice panels I staple the plastic sheeting to:

Used during winter, hung/zip-tied/attached to the frame of the run and to the HW cloth walls (whatever keeps it in place), all the way around. Lets in light and blocks wind and rain. These come off in the spring and are stored in the barn till the next winter season. The 4'x8' size works well with the dimensions of my run, as they cover nearly all the way up the sides of the run but still allow for ventilation at the very top. Hope that makes sense!
 
My coop is 4x12 and adjacent run 7x9 with 3' framing on the long sides. The east side is right up against the privacy fence so we used fence pickets. The south side is along a half wall so fence pickets on bottom and hardware cloth on top. North and west on run is hardware cloth. The run sides are 6' tall so I'm using 54"x36" sheets of 20 mil clear vinyl on north, west and south in winter and connecting with roofing screws. This leaves 1 1/2 open at top for ventilation but nice and windproof where the girls hang out.

In summer I use burlap bags free from local coffee shop to keep out sun and rain and solid tarp over clear roof.
