Oh yes, getting twitchy! The run still needs a door on it, and the mesh stapling down at the bottom so the job continues. Still hoping for April 5th though!Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Took the words out of my mouth Shirley. My run is a very bodged Heath Robinson affair. Wouldn't be out of place in Steptoe's yard! That angle iron stuff looks ideal.Kirsty b xx

Wow Ma Flum.... looks like it'll stop a Sherman tank never mind foxes! Very neat and Tidy job too....so who's the civil engineer? Truely a spectacular effort. The 5th will be here soon! Congrats and good luck.Last edited by RedThorn; 16-03-2009, 10:00 PM.Never test the depth of the water with both feet

Cracking Hen Run!
Ok, so it's been months in the planning, weeks of measuring up and scratching heads, discussions on design, ordering relevent parts, building the base, building a hen house stand, slabbing the floor, laying the weed fabric, erecting the frame, and attaching the mesh.
Phew! You stand back and are satisfied at a Proper Job, Well Done.
You then install a couple of stone hens.
Suspect your neighbours have officially labelled you as a batty ol' bird yourself!
Seriously - it's looking FABULOUS, well done to you both.

Thank you Bilbo and Hazel - you can always trust your friends to give you away! Of COURSE I'm a batty old bird! I've spent a lifetime studying and researching that and now that I've just got good at it I'm not giving up!
The lump of log is currently still on the somewhat overgrown tree but the felling of that is further down the 'to do' list!
No civil engineers here - 2 uncivil geology graduates - but I am determined to fox-proof this if possible.
If I'd built it by myself, ramshackle wouldn't BEGIN to describe it!Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.
