Hi! I've been working on making Justin Rhodes' chickshaw and was worried about racoons being able to reach through the 1 inch wire mesh on the bottom and pulling a chicken out (we had a racoon attack earlier this year). I was thinking of foregoing the 26" Marathon wheels entirely and putting the whole thing on the ground - those wheels are really expensive anyway. To make it mobile, I was thinking of attaching 2 or 4 retractable castor wheels so it could sit flat on the wood when the wheels aren't being in use.
I was wondering if anyone has used these wheels before and how they work. My concern is that even if they are heavy duty, will they move over uneven terrain like grass/gravel. The wheels look really small and are made to move over smooth concrete. The wheels in question are something like this : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DHHGX7...dda8f8b4ef8b2&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
