We are getting another snow storm right now and the netting is not doing well. I'm planing on building a wood run around the present pvc and then roof it with corrugated clear and metal. It will be a long process and I have to do it in steps. There will be a lot of undoing this to do that. It is going to be a huge project. Yesterday it was beautiful and I measured for the first wall.
I'm not sure about the roofing at all. Are brackets needed. I know that I have to run the 2x4s from main beam about 2 ft apart and I know that smaller(not sure if these are 2x4s) about 18 inches apart for support. I have the General idea but pictures from inside the run would help greatly. I know everyone has different ways.
I need something that will be strong enough to hold snow. The run will end up being about 15x50. The pitch for the roof will be about 5-7 inches on both sides. There will be multiple 2x4s(most likely doubled) coming from the main beam down for support. There will be some connection to the coop also.
So pictures of runs from the inside are needed...thank you to all that can supply these for me.
