That's a real shame. Today was probably the biggest test in terms of volume of rain it was ever going to get.
If there is any sort of gradient (if not, one can always be created by raising one end a bit), then corregated PVC sheeting should allow the water to drain away off the roof.

You may need a couple of battens to stop bowing in the center of a long span like yours.
Don't want to worry you, but foxes can burrow into runs. I know you are putting extra mesh on so that they can get 24 hour use, but they can go under into runs.
You have a great run and sorry about your frustrations with the taupaulin.
thanks for that will buy some of that instead and raise one end,
OH can have the taupaulin for his trailer/ car or whatever lol
Well.....if it's any comfort to you, I did the exact same thing.....with the EXACT same results!!! :lol: :lol: I thought I was being ESPECIALLY clever, as I put 2" X 1" wooden strapping across the tops of the runs under the tarpaulins, which I thought would hold them up and keep them taught and stop the rain from gathering in pools.............WRONG !!!!! :roll: :lol:
hi there is mesh unerneith the run too
dont know what size your run is but how about a proper all weather roof like this?
