if you need to keep your houses dry use onduline and leave a massive overlap my new big 8'4 house has onduline roofing and its overlaped about 1 foot all the way round and not one single bit of the house gets wet i can even stand under it at an angle and stay dry but now because i have coverted it into a 4'4 house come other side 4'4 dry shelter / feed area i get somewhere to sit when its pouring :lol: but as for the ground well i give up , have just been out and dug the chicks section of the run and started the bantams side but gave up as surprising the ground is still pretty hard so i think i am going to say sod it and get some good membrane and playbark and put that back down again especailly for the bantams .
in time i will be making some of the runs smaller to 9 ft wide and then adding 10ft pvc corrugated sheets to make proper roofing but that wont be until just before winter as i need to find the man power to help and that aint going to be easy.we have at least another 2 weeks of this wet weather which aint good but just be thankfull we dont live in russia we have it nowhere near as bad as they have it poor sods or should i say we dont have it no where as bad as anywhere else in this world either , but i have to admit when i have watched the news i have wondered the same thing about how people are coping if they have chickens or other pets in their gardens but thing thing they never show is a propety with chickens in the garden ??
