Our run is pretty flimsy, simply hog panels formed into a circle with a support in the center to hold up netting. That’s why it’s a last resort to tarp off.I am not familiar with your run, but we made a roof for our run using welded wire and covered it with a tarp. I was thinking of using shade cloth on the outside. I've got a ton of it.
I'm fortunate to be out of the hot zones so far, but all of this is good info for when it gets here.
If (when) it does come here, we have 3 possible plans. 1 - put chickens in the garage. 2 - build a big hoop coop run, add hardware cloth up the sides and on the front, and cover the rest with a tarp. 3 - cover their current run with offset netting and/or shade cloth.
I will read all the threads/articles linked above, too. Wanna be prepared...
I’m interested to do some more reading too. I considered a hoop coop, though if e were oils get complicated with the length of 2x4s we would need.
I love everyone’s ideas, currently trying to figure out how to wire/wall in a carport we have…
