Problem with door closure on run

[schmism]

drill as series of holes ontop of each other and use a chisel to remove the excess.

this leaves you with an elongated oval in the up/down direction.

you have infinite options for up/down, but the in/out direction of the gate is still limited to "closed"

Thanks, schmism - another fantastic idea! I knew you guys would be able to help!!

Oh and I'd like to add something- if the latch is located where a raccoon (do you have them?) could open it, take that into account because they are so darned clever!

We do have raccoons, oppossums, skunks, hawks....but we have a concrete "footer" around the perimeter to keep them out. Doors are harder to "predator proof"! Luckily, my acreage doens't have many trees, so we rarely (if ever) see these pradators, with the exception of hawks, near the barn that the chicken run is attached to. Thanks for the reminder!!
