This small run, 5 x13 1/2 ft, is original square footage with the "barn" . The original builder/owner used a stone foundation to keep predators from digging. He had hole in the foundation for posts and chicken wire. I have added a frame (and a roof.)

painted 1x2's to hold hardware cloth in place

The center "opening" on the end will be a 36" door.

This is the extended 13 1/2 ft x 16 ft with a 1 1/2 foot connection space. The posts are set in place using metal post stakes.All of the frame is made with removeable panels to make any future modifications or removal easier. The whole run is made completley with screws and lag screws all predrilled.

Almost complete. I don't think it will ever be completely done though. Chicken math plus when I see a better working system of some sort I like to try it out. I also have plans to add some kind of fenced in area to allow a more controlled free range for times when I can't pay enough attention to the yard. Then there are landscaping things too. For every one thing I accomplish I think I add two more to the wish list! Lol.

Panels on the west side put in place.

1 x 6 deck boards for the gable ends.
