Good article, and a reminder to all of us that the fellas aren't the only ones who need a little bit of retraining now and again!

Yes,It works great in dry climates but not in areas with high humidity. Thanks for the review!

I didn't mention it, as we will be changing this soon, but we have electric fencing all the way around the building. Right now it is single strand wire, on T-posts, and there are 4 strands. Now that the gates have been hung, we will have electric netting around the building, two low wired across each entrance gate and a high wire to prevent climbing over. The climbing wire goes on the exterior panels, as well as each individual pen.
The ground at the base of the metal building, and under all of the fence panels has been poured over with concrete, so they can't dig.

Thank you so much, yes my handyman husband built it using a free plan design I found online from MyOutdoorPlans.com its 4ft by 8ft and the Pallet idea was mine- we had a few lying around. He fully insulated the walls and then covered them with the pallets. we used a 9x10 piece of linoleum from Lowes for the floor :) we have a fenced in back yard where the coop is for extra security from predators. Being in Alaska we have all sorts of critters that come around our woods.

We didn't use cement fibre sheeting because it is good for predator proofing intensionally, we just used it because, like Mount Everest, it was there. [in our garage, left over from another DIY project]

Thank you very much and that recipe is to die for. No pun intended. :-D
