Re: How to build a lightweight chicken run??Sorry nobody has replied to you....very rude!!. I am not on at that time of the night. I am not into DIY however somewhere on the site there are lots of pictures and info on other members runs. I can't remember where it is but hopefully someone will come along and post the link. I appreciate it needs to be lightweight to move around but would not be very strong to keep the fox out.
Re: How to build a lightweight chicken run??The thread is under chicken keeping, near the top. Good luck, I'm afraid I'm no use with DIY either but looking forward to hearing how you get on

Re: How to build a lightweight chicken run??Aviary panels!, you can buy them ready made, or if you or anyone you know is handy at DIY, then make them yourself! ...

Re: How to build a lightweight chicken run??How many chickens do you have? When we started out, I thought that a movable run would be a good idea, but I think you'd need to move it pretty frequently if you wanted to keep grass growing. We've decided to build a walk-in-run from aviary panels (which are arriving on Monday!) - that will stay in the same place, until we move house, in which case, I hope it will be relatively easy to dismantle & reassemble.

Re: How to build a lightweight chicken run??
The OP started another thread late last night in chicken keeping asking the same question. I answered at 8.08 this morning, my apologies for not answering sooner, between 11.30 last night and 7.30 this morning I was in bed, as 99% of people will be.
