I should have been more clear. Skinny jeans on guys is terrible, no issues with females wearing them. Ha

I have seen some guys rock them well

Hey buddy if you can fit into say a 28 in waist and 6 inch leg widths wear em proudly.

ha! Nah not really my style

Maybe if u had a few 2x4 studs to keep it rigid then ran wire around it those spools are heavy.

The 2x4"s might help. Yeah, I know those spools are heavy, so I just couldn't figure out how to use those nice round sides to make a roof on the pens. I think they would be too top heavy just as a roof. Maybe cut the inner part out of the bottom piece to have access to the ground and couple of 2x4's on the sides to keep the wire from collapsing. Perhaps it is way more bother than they are worth.

oh I don't think I understand so the middle piece will stay? How about keeping the middle piece but not the bottom so it looks like a table with wire wrapped around? If they are free then I think it's worth it. No need to put a wire roof and some type of roofing like a round pen would need

Or keep the whole thing intact and wrap with wire
They would be extremely strong

yeah I envision just wrapping the spools in chicken wire. That middle section isnt very big from what I remember seeing. They could just run around it. (just googled it.. looks like they can be kind of big)

Taking off the bottom wood ring would give them access to the ground which is better than wood IMO.

I see what you are saying. No I was just thinking of using the flat round pieces. They are round and wooden, so maybe add 4 "table legs" aka 2x4's and wrap the wire around. I think keeping the center of the spool would tak up too much room. The ones I see are some bigger spools, maybe 4 to 5' in diameter.

Wouldn't a dome be easier? Simple to drag to fresh ground if so inclined. I've moved them all in one day before by myself. Pretty simple. Maybe a little tough getting them up and over the fence but they ain't that heavy.

I think that would look.cool as a stag/cock pen. If done with care and have the legs spaced equally even maybe using 6 or so legs. Heck if just using the top.and bottom it can be as tall as you want. Like 6' high with natural roosts that would look badass
With the money saved u could wrap it with chain link and the doors can be welded wire in the back so from the front all u see is link but I may be going overboard.
