Chicken Run

I bought 4 pieces rough redwood 2x4 and ripped three of them down at 30 degrees and one at 0 degrees to make this frame.  The angled surfaces prevent the collection of dirt and it sheds the rain.  4 lower corners using a simpson corner bracket.  Sealed it with a behr sealer #500-natural before assembly. Dimensions are 4x8x2. 

 I accidentally bought the wrong staples for the project so I ended up using 1.25" crown moulding staples which are quite narrow.  They worked perfectly!  Keep in mind this is redwood, so softer (and lighter) than douglas fir.
