Well I am getting a run soon so that the buns can play in it 24/7 rain or shine. I have been thinking of ways to weatherproof it from wooden panels, acrylic sheets, plain old tarp etc. But I woke up this morning with a light bulb over my head. I have loads of spare correx that I used to make the guinea pigs C&C cage. It's waterproof, it's going to help save me money and will help keep the wind out better then a bit of tarp.
But how would I go about attaching it. It is only about 3mm thick or so. I want to make it so each section of the run has it's own panel. For the best amount of wind and rain proofing and to make the roof easy to open as it folds over itself 3 times from left to right, so can't have one huge sheet across it.
I was thinking of making holes in each corner of the correx 'panel' and using cable ties to attach it to the mesh of the run. That way it keeps nice and secure and cable ties are cheap so if I ever need to replace them it is simple.
Good idea??
This is the stuff I am on about. It is thin and lightweight but because it is plastic it is completely waterproof. The plus about it being quite thin is you can poke holes in it with a knife to hang up stuff from water bottles to hay racks
