It all started with a dream of being able to fence our chickens in a large yard but still be able to move the pen to give them new grass and new things to eat and not have to keep them in one small area. My bf and I sat down and thought of pro's and con's of having a fence like this, after we decided to make it we started planning. We decided based on the height of the chicken wire (4ft tall) and the old fence posts we have (8' tall) we would build 4' by 8' long panels. We went to a lumber store and bought 2x2 lumber and a sheet of ply wood, as I said earlier we already had the 8' fence posts, and picked up the 4' poultry wire. We cut the 8' fence posts at 45" and cut some of the 2x2's at 45" we cut the ply wood into pretty much 1' triangles. So we made these.
And of course we where being supervised by quaility control....
So then we lined them up in the driveway and layed the chicken wire on it and rolled it out.... busted out the staple gun and the air compressor.
here is the finished product. We will keep them this way for a while then move them to get some new grass and bugs to eat.
