Roof panel overlap?

Post by Emmachuck »

We are going to assemble our Walk-in-Run this weekend and it comes with the clear plastic corrugated roof panels. Now know to put the screws in the raised bit (not the dippy bit :oops: - thanks Steve!), but am unsure how much we should overlap the panels to prevent water creepng through and dripping into the run. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi- yes, Walk-in-Run is walk-in run, i.e. run that is above head height and often covered. Sorry- been reading far too many chicken run posts all over the place and am picking up bad habits!! :-D
