In the Brooder
Its completely framed, floored, pressure treated stilts. With a back door hatch for easy cleaning, and doors on the nesters. With also enough 2x4s left over to build a sled to drag it 100 ft to the back yard.That quality (looks and material) for $200 or less is really impressive. It's got a lot more character than a simple "box design." Go ahead and send em my way. I however am going to try to use my own lumber (tons of trees waiting to be processed). However, something like that, but painted red...may just do the trick!
We were given some free material by some locals so we weren't out with the shingles or chicken wire. But i'm sure for how many shingles we used it would be 200 flat.
I will post my floor plans a little later but I do remember
30 2x4s
3 1x2s
2 8x4 decent but cheap wood. 1 for flooring. 1/2 for roof, 1/2 for both nesting doors.
3 8x4 slabs of weather resistant siding wood. We had about half a slab left over possible will use it to cover in the stilts.
2 4x4 pressure treated wood (for stilts)
All 2x4s 1x2s 4x4s were 8ft long
1 box Nails,1 box Screws, 2 Latches, 2 3pk Hinges, 2 vents for air flow
60lb bag of concrete
tools we used
Mitter saw
Circulor Saw
Hammer
Drill
