Chicken Runs

These are our most popular item and we are often featured in the omlet.co.uk forums. Many of our customers own Omlet "Eglus"* for their chickens, and move the eglu into our secured runs to give their birds more space.
For more information on Eglus*, please see www.omlet.co.uk (offsite link)

Our runs are made using 50mm by 25mm pressure treated Grade A timbers. The run has a 15 cm substrate board at the base to prevent any of the debris coming out into you garden. The normal wire I use for these runs is 1" x 1" 19 gauge welded mesh. The mesh is held onto the timber frame by using 20mm staples which are put into the frame under compressed air. The door of the runs are hung using three gate hinges and the door is secured by a barrel bolt. A translucent roof is also a good idea for these runs as they allow the light in but repel the harmful UV rays.
