My Pvc Chicken Coop Project

Date sort Score sort
The enclosed run i built was above a chain link fence with a portion of the fence buried. The electrical conduit (UV resistant) is attached to the top rail by splitting a tee fitting, heating it to form on the top rail and clamping it until it was cool. The cover is just chicken wire because i do not have a predator problem. Cross bracing was attached with tees drilled out so they could slide on the hoops and secured with a screw. I put the door on the hoop side, not the end. A big mistake for constructability.

It has been thru several Idaho winters with no repairs.
 
Here it is July 2019. I’m really curious how your PVC coop has been holding up. I would also like to know if you have made any changes or additions. Thank you for the inspiration.
 
What did you use to secure the mesh and netting to the PVC? I used this design for my girls and the frame is ready but I wanted to see what you used to secure the hardware cloth and net to the frame. I was thinking zip ties but wondered if it was secure enough to keep critters out. I also have a Hotwire for the outside but still
