We picked this up a few weeks ago from another property in our street as it was left after the curb side rubbish pick up. Kev said it was probably to big to take, so they just left it there. After driving past it a few times I had another great idea,( brain working over time as usual) and (as I love any recycling project). I said to Kev that would be great if we covered it in chicken wire to grow vegetables under it, which he agreed. If you don't know already we have trouble with all the wildlife eating everything we grow, as we live in the bush, so we have plenty of possums, kangaroos, rabbits,rodents and lots of birds that eat everything. It can be very frustrating. A few months back our strawberries were looking good and I thought another day and I'll pick them, well something beat me to them even though they are fully enclosed with chicken wire. Any way back to our project, just turn the frame upside down and cover with chicken wire, how easy is that, it didn't take us that long. I will find a place in the garden and plant some vegetables under it, it hasn't happened yet, maybe this weekend. As it sits there I've been thinking it could be great to house chickens, It could be moved all around the yard with ease like those ones you can buy that have wheels on them. So when my vegetables are growing well underneath I will post another photo on my blog to show you all.
Clever idea!
ReplyDeleteHi Sherrie, I saw a trampoline turned into chook yard at the Tread Lighly festival here in Tas years ago. It's a great use of an old tramp. We have collected some old kids swing sets to make our out of, for when we move down to the shack.
ReplyDeleteSorry the see that you have become a victim of over zealous moderating on SS. I don't mind them pulling threads that are degenerating into a slanging match but your threads are always informative and generously written and replied to. Take care HS.
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd thought of something to do with our tramp legs! we had a big round 13" that went out for pickup last year, such a waste.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have found your blog, it will be a regular :) I hope things are ok after tonight, take care
Awesome work!
ReplyDelete*applause*. Clever Sherrie... as usual!

what a clever idea! Our neighbours have escape-y chooks and this may just help to solve the issue.
ReplyDeleteConcentrate more on moving down against the trampoline than moving up. Only a several of inches are sufficient to begin getting a good exercise.

Those are brilliant ideas! I've been needing a chicken tractor but was none too interested in building one. Problem solved! :)
