poly tunnel

[ladybird12]

I am thinking of getting a poly tunnel to place my bantams ark in to protect it from the winter storms ( we get a lot in Wales ) any one think this is a good idea ?

I'm not sure what a "poly tunnel" is so hopefully someone else might be able to help you out.

Its a sort of steel framed plastic green house used to protect plants and is very strong to hold up to wind and frost , I think it will protect chickens from the elements , they are probaly only sold here in the UK

I am well hope you are x

I would think that would be a great idea, as long as there is sufficient ventilation to prevent moisture buildup.

Sure, as long as you leave at least one, possibly both, ends of the tunnel open to prevent condensation. It is hard to imagine til you see it just how much the humidity builds up in those things, especially in the nighttime hours.

Good luck, have fun,
