My Neighbors chicken were disturbing me as the cackled and destroyed my trash in search of some grubs so I decided to show them who''s the BOSS.

  1. Threaded rope
  2. Nails with big heads
  3. Saw
  4. Trowel
  5. Hammer
  6. Sawblade or Razor
  7. Some random wood.

I had most of these so I spent roughly half a dollar on the rope.

Prepare the Wood

Cut the wood about 3 feet and drive the nails spacing about an inch

Preparing the Ground

Dig about one foot into the ground with the trowel and put the sticks, then put in some rocks and fill back with soil.

Run the Rope

Run the rope round the nail heads, making sure to secure firmly in a horizontal formation first, as many times as possible, then go zigzag.

Optional

You may add this guy if you have him around, he wont make much difference if your structure is firmly secured .

Now my trash can lie in peace, till disposal time.

n.b I decided against using chicken mesh as , this is a humid area and unless I use galvanised it wont last.
