let's see yours!

mine, it's not pretty, but it does the job. using a shower curtain there, the blue lid is because I just noticed a small tear in the curtain. The garden fork weighs down the back so it doesn't blow forward in the wind.

anyone got more attractive looking water proofing?

We use umbrellas over the doors of the play house, and are getting some polycarb panels to put over the aviary. We used to use tarps with the hutches going back a few years, but we used the metal market stall style spring clamps and also special tarpaulin clips with elastic on them to hold it in place. Also bricks to weigh the bottom and front down.

Tarpaulins with metal 'eyes' are great because they can be secured with elasticated bungee hooks.

I also put patio slabs on the top of my hutches because I'm really paranoid about them blowing away!
