I had some tires I was experimenting with planting up to help with retention of water and they just happened to be in the area that we turned into the run so they stayed. One had paw paw self seed in it from my home made compost & the largest one has just reached the run roof. It gives it a nice tropical feel & the chooks love paw paw leaves. I hadn't thought about spray painting them though. Hmm...I have a couple that are semi permanent that I stack spray painted old tires around. Then I fill the inside with moss and soil and plant some herbs and flowers for our girls to peck at....my chicken yard is the only area my husband tolerates my "crazy crafty wacky mama" stuff. My tires are bright colors with all sorts of wackiness scattered about....it's ironically the most used section of the entire yard!
Great looking run! I'm sure your chickens will love it. The coop looks nice & snake proof which is our main predator problem. If you have little furry things (like racoons) that can stick arms through the fence you may want to put smaller gauge wire cloth around the bottom of the run.
For those of you with open coops, what do you do when it rains? Does the coop get all nasty inside?
