This is a beautiful enclosure
Thank you so much! We just got done with a few adjustments to the overhead netting.
Thank you for the video.
You're very welcome.
We have a similar setup, which is what made me click on it. Our coop is made from reclaimed garden boxes from long ago, 2×12 pine (?) boards. We used a shed style roof with one slope to it, it was easier, and a metal roof. We have 7' field fencing, maybe its 20X30' surrounding. It is this size because there was an enclosed green house on the property ( very bad shape), but we used the frame of it to cover in chicken wire for overhead protection. The feild fencing was also reclaimed from elsewhere on the property. We are firm believers in reusing everything we can, so yes we have a couple of scrap piles.
That sounds really nice, especially with the chicken wire overhead. How do you like the metal roof? I wish we had a single slope, so that water catchment would make more sense.
