Plastic Wrapped Runs???

[Rare Feathers Farm]

You can see in this pic--the little "curtains" I made for each pop hole door...I just cut the tarp into strips and then nailed to each door.

A friend works at a printing company and he covered his coop with 'mistakes' printed on that plastic fabric stuff they make banners from. Maybe ask at the local printers?

I don't use it myself for the run, however in building a green house and doing research I found that 6 mm is the strongest that I can get a hold of......They have clear tape for the application of a green house... I am not sure how one would attach it to a run though I will think about that and get back to you on that.

Thanks!

seeing a picture of your runs it looks like you could attach the plastic by staples into the wood frame or double sided tape.

It would have to be staples. I cannot see double sided tape withstanding our snow, wind & rain very long.

My run is attached to the back of the barn/garage and in a very sheltered area of the backyard. I used a staple gun to put up plastic sheeting last weekend in preparation of winter snow and wind. There's a huge open wall unit that the girls roost on which provides additional shelter from the weather (pics are on my page) all year long. I bought my rolls of plastic sheeting at Walmart.

I use 6mil 8x100 in the roll. I sent my husband...it will last me while. I staple it up.

My run is small, only 11 x 11 ft. I thought about buying some of those heavy clear plastic shower curtains. Thought I could just use the grommets and hook it on to the fencing. It's very thick and I think I could use it for more than one season. I would probably need 6 of them and I saw them at Walmart for around $5. I saw the 6 mil rolls at TSC. and if I had to do 100s of feet, it would be smart to use it.
