As you can see here is my free range tractor, easy to assemble made with 2 4 x6 and 2 4 x 8 s it took 6 1/4 inch pieces, 5 on the body one across the middle of 8 foot pvc pieces held in place with brackets you use for plumbing and misc.pieces of pvc with elbows for the square door. The zip ties hold it together. We happen to have this plastic off a construction job and coasters we had lying around, since the only predators we worry about around here are hawks(at least for the moment) this works great. I haven't lost a silkie since I built it. We also used one pieces of scrap molding for the back for extra support....hopefully this helps this whole thing costs us a few dollars to make but we had much of the materials around the barn. It is simple to make and the silkies love it. I love that the hawks don't seem to be hanging around anymore since they haven't had a meal around here.
What is the black material? Is it temporary fencing? I need to eventually make a tractor, you have opened my eyes up to a new idea.
I have a shippment going there next week if the weather is good.
