I just bought a dog house that I want to turn into a coop and run for my three banties. Paid $150.00.
He primed it. I plan to paint it barn red with white trim. Not sure what to do with the plywood top. Should I paint it several layers or add roofing? It rains a lot here.
I got the dog house from a man down the street that makes them out of pallets. It's 3 1/2 X 4 1/2 ft with a double floor and piano hinged top. He angled the bottom pallet skids to slide but the thing weighs a ton.
I will need to put wheels on it to move it without tearing up the lawn every couple of days.
Need advice on the best way to add wheels. Should I put them on one end or both on the house and then how should I attach the run and should I make that so I they come apart.
Advice greatly needed and appreciated.
(Originally, I was going to go with an arc type tractor but decided with all the rain we get in the Pacific NW, I would be better off with something else).
Front with a slider door he put on for me once he learned I was going to use it for chickens. I'll need to add a secure lock.
Thankful he put a piano hinge to open - there's no way I could open myself otherwise. I plan to paint the interior and add vinyl to the floor.
