First Tarp Try

Backyard Poultry
Tarp Canopy
Here is our first try. Pretty impressive huh? ...Or tacky? It was quite an operation: 1) We lined the runs up along the house, opening into the pophole. 2) We lined the perimeter of the runs with straw bales. 3) We mounted heavy 15’x20’ tarps on ferring strips underneath the eaves of the shed. They draped down over the runs and were secured with bungee cords and rock-filled crates at the bottom. I’m telling you, it was an operation! Do you think it will work?

Very creative! I don't think it will hold up in a tornado.

Good idea, although I think the snow could still get in around the edges.
