I'm having a major issue with the door on my chicken run. I have barrell type clasps, different sizes, but because of the freeze/thaw and the ground heaving, the posts are apparently moving slightly, which offsets the receiving end of the closures. I now have binder twine tied on the door/fencing to keep the door closed, and I'm EXTREMELY nervous about that.
I suggested to DH that we buy 3 more barrell clasp closures and put one on one, and if the door moves again, put another one one...and then I'd have 3 slightly different positons to choose from so hopefully that would allow me to close the door in any weather. He said he'd figure something out, but any suggestions would be most helpful!
He has already removed the hinges on the door & repositioned it twice, and I'm concerned that if we do that repeatedly, the screw holes will become stripped eventually.
Sorry now pics, but if anyone thinks it would help, I'll take some tonight & load tomorrow a.m. first thing. I guess I'm really more wondering what folks use to latch their doors. Maybe there's something out there I'm not thinking of. Thanks so much for any feedback!
