I'm looking to cover the run with Ondura. It's heavier than most other thing and I figure easier for me to put on. I figure it's will last longer than those clear plastic panels and the metal sheets. Plus I figure I'll have to add more supports for the plastic and metal.
The drawback is I want it in Green and that has to be special ordered and cost $5 more per panel than the colors on the shelf. Off the shelf panels are $19.92 each. 48"x79".
I wrote to the company and they told me I could paint it, which makes no sense, since a gallon of paint will cost more than $25. I need 5 panels but hoped to cover the entire runs. One is 24x8 the other 16x8. It will take 3 panels per 8 ft of run approximately. I figure it would take at least a gallon of paint to paint the five panels.
I'm really ticked that I have to special order green and feel I'm being had by this company.
By the way this is only sold at Lowes. I hate Lowes. They are the worst to deal with and customer service is the worst. I got a gift card for Lowes and I hate them so much I'd rather give it away than use it.
So does anyone have any advice on what I can use instead that will cost $100.00? Off the shelf panels come in red, brown and gray. My coop is purple and green. None of these colors will work without requireing painting the coop or the panels, or paying the extra $25 of Ondura.
I live in NY, so I need something sturdy enough to hold the snow. My run is slanted so I'd like something the snow will slide off of easily or I can rake off of. I used tarps last year and it was a disaster, though the run wasn't slanted like this year. (I changed it).
Thanks for any advice
