Step 5Chicken Wire All Over
Next, coat the chicken tractor and the gate with chicken wire. This was a breeze to attach with the air staple gun, but you can use many different methods.
Some tips:
-The more tension you put on the wire, while stapling, the nicer the coop will look. Create tension by pulling away from the area you'd like to make taut: if i'm nailing the upper-right corner of a chicken wire ractangle, I'm pulling up and to the right while I staple.
-Make sure you don't attach wire to the end of the tractor on which you're placing the door, unless you want a road to nowhere:)
-If you're buying chicken wire, purchase wire of the same height a your tractor: this will save you cutting the wire down to size.
