Thanks CSA......we just so happen to have a brand new Harbor Freight store here. Due to open next weekend

Looking for suggestions......I've recently added a very large run to my existing coop and run. ( 32x18). Harware cloth on all sides and the top as well as a 16 inch apron all around. I'd like to cover a portion to keep out rain and snow. I'm thinking just clear tarps for this year but not sure how to attach them. I also bought several rolls of shade cloth/fence cloth to put up on all sides to keep out wind and snow this winter Anyo e else tried this? If so ...how well did it work?.Any suggestions on how to tarp the top....I cant really climb across the top to do it Here are some pics of progress over the last few weeksView attachment 1552966 View attachment 1552967 View attachment 1552968 View attachment 1552969

Simply gorgeous!

Your set-up is amazing! I buy tarps at Harbor Freight. They have lots of sizes and they are pretty cheap which is great cause no tarp will ever last more than a year against New Mexico sun. I use either pieces of wire or zip ties through the grommets to secure the edges to the walls. Cheap and easy

Of course, I have a pitched roof run, and no worries about snow load.... Not sure if that makes a difference.



I have the one that says “spoiled hens lay better eggs.” My dad got it for me last year. It is so cute!


I want to see the burrito video! The only time I have had to treat for bumble, DH and I tried draping a towel over her to keep her calm. She looked like an angry little Sith lord!

No you don't! Once you do it yourself you'll ALWAYS do it yourself.

True....and I look at it like this. I work hard all week so that I can pay other people to do it.
