I'm totally going to use this design at home next year! Do you put any weights on the structure to prevent predators from lifting it? Racoons or foxes could probablly pass underneath, no?
Yes a big dog could get under this lighter tractor, I depend on a guard dog to deter predators. You can also use an electric fencer to electrify the chicken wire, I have done that on tractors far away from the house.

Gonna use this design for a run itself. I got a 12-12 coop, now just need a run that's lightweight. Thanks for the tour
You might even consider a larger hoop run like I use on the original or ultimate chicken tractor.
Great ideas, thank you for sharing!

Very nice.
How were the doors hinged?
Bruce Wayne I used a pair of regular 2.5" utility hinges for each door.
Is it wind prof?
It does not blow over. If it got windy enough to blow it over I think my house and for sure my outbuildings would be in danger.
Poly Sheets?
Yes, they are used for the walls in bathrooms.
