In summer I like to keep the door open and the hens (and local cats) out so I prop a panel of square mesh plastic fencing against the open door. It's only about 3' high but prevents the hens going in. Something like that would give your birds access. A piece of glass (we have a collection of old windscreens!) or perspex would have the same effect. Mary |

"svmsbb" wrote in message ... My Dad has a couple of sheds with birds in and leaves the doors open, but slides a secondary door over the door hole. This door is like a picture frame full door hieght and wodth with chicken wire attached to it. Very cheap and light just a rough old frame of 2X1 wood. No special sliding mechanism just kicks it into place. Not the prettiest of jobs but keeps 4 cats out of the sheds.

LET AIR IN KEEP CATS OUT
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember The Natural Philosopher saying something like: I want something that lets cats in but keeps air out. A cat flap on a spacesuit. -- Dave |
