Chicken Coop Anti Dig Skirt is fitted to the coop in the picture. It consists of lengths of timber, enough to cover the perimeter of the coop with mesh stapled to it. This screws to the base of your coop framework & thus gives you the skirt effect. We make this in such a way that you can peg this down and move the coop around with the anti fox dig skirt attached to the chicken coop.
The weld-mesh used on our anti dig skirts is half x half inch square, we find this ideal for keeping foxes out of the coop and also smaller pests such as rodents.
Setting up an area of the garden specifically for your chicken coop is an alternative option to the fox anti dig skirt...If you don't intend to move your coop around , you could set aside an area of the garden specifically for your coop and build a fox barrier on the ground to prevent the fox from digging his way into the chicken coop.
The laying of a simple row of flags for your coop base /framework to sit one is one idea, making sure to flag all the way around the coop, this also provides a lovely level surface for your poultry pen.. or alternatively digging out a trench for the setting in of wooden sleepers for your coop to sit on will help to keep the fox out of your chicken coop thus preventing him from digging underneath the coop framework... Inside the chicken coop, to prevent the grass becoming soiled ,you could scatter bark chippings.Your garden poultry will love scratting about in this natural material ,although this will need to be replaced regularly when soiled.
An alternative material to natural bark is a rubber alternative. Made from recylced rubber and available in a variety of colours and also washable, ask for details.
