Here is another photo showing the little sections which the chickens will be able to go under in the summer to cool off.

The bins on the top are where I keep the food and straw.

Your work is truly an inspiration as I am embarking on a similar, if not smaller build myself. Its certainly an impressive monument to your talent! )t'

You've done a brilliant job. This is just what i need too, so i showed my hubby your pics and he is going to build something similar. Any ideas on where to get good fox proof wire fencing for it? trying to do it as cheaply as possible as we spent a good bit on the coop and mini run. )hlp>

Greetings Issy,
Welcome to The Lane.
The cheapest place we've found for fencing is Hills Of Devon. Here's a link

The most fox proof is the 1.6mm 1inch squares weldmesh. Foxy would need a blow torch to get through it )t'

Wow that looks amazing. I do envy people who are good at making things.

Hubby and I have just been measuring up ready to build our chicken run, it nearly came to divorce just trying to do the measurements so I think I will pay someone to build the run now, it will be cheaper than divorce
