Plastic Wrapped Runs???

[Frithest]

These look perfect - very clear and UV resistant, although they're vinyl (which is not a nice chemical).

What a great site! They have a page for accessories, too. Thanks, Frithest!

After last winter's blizzard, I really want to do the sides of my run, closest to the coop. I wasn't convinced I wanted to mess with plain plastic, but a clear tarp would be so easy to put up and take down.

Ah, guess I should have mentioned...I don't have a coop. Mine is an open air pen.

I would die! I'm cold. It's 58 and gloomy and windy. Pretty rough for us here!

I bought clear tarps last year online (I forget where). They worked great.

This is the kind of stuff I use: comes in a bag or as a big roll in a box.

We use a heavy gray tarp to cover our run. The front has a small opening. This works great.
Enough for protection and enough for fresh air. Aria

That plastic sheeting went up around the run just in time....snowed last night and the run is snug and dry.

Thanks for the shower curtain idea. I use a dog kennel for their run and we get wicked winds across the 20 acre field next to us. The winds actually come mostly from the south (we're in NW IN where it does get below zero) because of how the tree line is, it just whips around. I was thinking of a way to block off two sides to give them a wind block, but can't have anything permanent because it will go sailing...
