The Run thread

[Blooie]

I love this idea so much I stole it to make a new coop and expand an old one. Love, love, love the modular/expandable wire-wrapped cattle panel & T-post construction. I live in the country with no neighbors, so didn't bother to make mine cute. But look at all that great natural light inside! We all know how well birds respond to light.

Aww, shucks, LJ...you make me blush!

Here is my run one picture is kind of dark I took it at dusk. I still have a few finishing touches to put on the coop and I need to paint the inside but it's done for the most part.

I love this run. Looks classy. Details please. What are the components and where did you get them?

But those looks like dog kennel or even chicken run panels.
Yup....

I found it on Craig's list but they sell them and Lowe's,we did build a small section in the back to make it larger. My husband just made a frame out of 2x4's and painted them black to match and covered it with hardware cloth.

I saw the “euro” dog kennels, but their gaps between posts look a lot bigger.

Most the snow goes right thru....or you can build a real roof, strong rafters, metal sheathing for slide off.

Hi AART. I am trying to build an enclosure from my chickens that I would like to look like this. I was wondering what building supplies you used. I'm going for 12 feet width. And 6.5 to 8 feet tall.

@HelenPE
My run is 8' wide, determined/limited by the std 10' conduit length.
Details are on my coop page.

Thank you! How do I find your coop page?

Aart's coop page (and anyone else's that has one linked) is directly under her avatar on the left side of page, at bottom of the surrounding white rectangle, that says "My Coop" in brownish letters.

The my coop link is not visible in that spot if you’re on a mobile device. Maybe the mobile version is more compact to conserve space? If you’re on a phone, you have to go to the user’s profile page, scroll the tabs all the way to the left and go to the last tab on the right - “About”.
