Hi,

I have a spare fruit cage approx 6m x 10m. Any thoughts on what it could be repurposed for? Has been used as a chicken run but no longer needed for that.

Cover with plastic for a polytunnel/greenhouse style building?

Veg? Or have you now got your protection for fruit and veg elsewhere? Or just seasonal use for young chicks/ducklings/whatever whilst they still need crow protection. Rabbits? Quail? Outdoor dog run?

Or just sell it! I'd snap it up - always thinking I should get something like that for baby birds.

If I could figure out how to securely attach a roof I might keep it as a chicken run. Trouble is we are on a windy site so would need to be super secure. The other challenge with fitting a roof is that it is flat so rain run off needs to be considered.
