    Bonus with the new enclosure!

    My husband strongly encouraged me to get this

    So I did. His fault.

    Rarely do I get things delivered to the house. That's what the truck is for. But this thing is 300 pounds and they were running a delivery special. This is how it arrived. Check out the rack it came in! I'm so happy. What a bonus. Now I can organize my plywood pile in the shed. Well worth the $49 delivery charge.

    Nice enclosure. When I had chickens, little bantams, had a home made enclosure what was so hard to lift and move. Think 2x4s covered in chicken wire; it was heavy.

    The corners look open. Weasel size open. Must be I just can't see the mesh?

    Yeah....I'd reinforce the four edges...that looks like a sizable gap, all things considered.

    I wrap everything in chicken or hardware wire but I can't do that on the top of the one we have. The thing I like about this new enclosure is the welded wire roof. That's the weak spot in most enclosures since they tend to have canvas roofs like the one we have now. It's also a pain when there's even a little sag and rain or snow collects and the pressure tears holes.

    I'm really excited about this one. We're planning to use the one we have and turn it into a 10' x 15' for a garden enclosure to protect the plants from deer, etc. We can also turn that into a greenhouse by just wrapping it in plastic.
