As some on here know I have a hoop coop. The first covering was a white tarp but it only lasted a year or so. I was lucky enough to find a billboard for free & used that for the 2nd *roof*. After a couple years, and the billboard flapping from the wind, its made tiny holes in the canvas. I attempted to fill them in with spray on tar but still had one stubborn spot that would still leak. Last year I covered that area with a old tent fly which did solve the problem. This year my ez up got bent in the wind. I saved the canvas and was able to repurpose it to make a new cover for the hoop coop. This time I left the old covering on & put the *new* one on top of it.. The red & white is much prettier than black tho I am sure the hens don't care. I found some cool tarp clips that clip on like a grommet & then had purchased some 4" black bungees to secure it to the cattle panels. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AXFCR/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So far it has held up just fine to high winds. I am curious how the clips hold up to winter. Temps are dropping so soon I will need to put the sides back down and soon put hay bales around the outside to block out the frigid winds. It always seems summer flies by but winter is never ending.
