The framework is fully galvanised tubular steel at 38mm, and comes with 20 gauge hexagonal mesh as standard, or a choice of two welded mesh upgrades. We also carry very strong and durable PVC covers to provide shade for your animals, or to keep a chicken coop, feeders, and drinkers sheltered from the elements.
Our enclosures give your chickens or other small animals the opportunity to roam whilst giving you peace of mind that they are better protected. Every model comes with a wire mesh ground skirt to stop any potential predators from digging under.
ASSEMBLING THE CHICKEN RUN
All of the mesh chicken runs come with full, very detailed assembly instructions. You may want some help from a friend but if you follow the step by step guide that comes with your run, getting your chicken’s new home assembled is easy.The tools you’ll require to assemble your chicken pen are as follows: Cross head screwdrivers, Measuring tape, Wire cutters, Step ladder & Hammer
If you decide to increase the size of your run, either because you want to extend the room available to your chickens or other pets, or you want to house more poultry or pets, you can extend later by adding a single or multiple, extra 2 metre section.
GROUND PREPARATION
Our runs will sit on any surface providing it is relatively flat (up to a 1in20 slope should be fine) but different surfaces have different advantages/disadvantages.
A grass or earth surface is probably best for chickens. It allows the ground skirt to be pegged down but there is a possibility of rats tunneling under the frame to get inside. But we do have an optional full ground cover made from our ultimate welded mesh with half inch holes to help prevent this (select this option when adding this product to your Cart). Weed control won’t be an issue because your chickens will likely eat them before they have a chance to surface.
The runs will also sit well on a hard/concrete/tarmac surface which eliminates the worry about tunneling predators but won’t allow the ground skirt to be pegged down.
