    Tractor Supply 18 chicken coop - how to seal the bare wood? Plus a few other ???

    Here's a couple of close up pictures that may help visualize my situation. Definitely have to run HWC all the way up and over with the width of those sections!

    Tractor Supply 18 chicken coop - how to seal the bare wood? Plus a few other ???

    On the security issue, it's hard to see but I used galvanized green vinyl covered HDW on the ground. Used 36" tall rolls, laying 14-18" on the ground. There's all rock around the edges so digging it in was out. I then "folded" the ground apron up the outside of the run, and secured it with hog...

    Tractor Supply 18 chicken coop - how to seal the bare wood? Plus a few other ???

    I wondered if the chickens would like those included roosts. They're like 1"x1" and I can't imagine they'd do. What do think about a 2"x4" flat side up? And the roof - I'm thinking about the poly roof panels that are corrugated (is that the word you were looking for earlier?) and translucent...

    Yeah, it actually has two shelves. I coated them with FlexSeal after reading everyone's suggestions. As for the nest boxes, the stain/sealer should help, and not sure about how the clear FlexSeal will work. I had already got a roll of vinyl flooring, so thanks for reminding me. It seems like...

    Cellular game/security cameras

    Check out the TactaCam Reveal trail cams series with wi-fi. We have 4 of them, and get notifications whenever photos are taken. You can also set them up to take short videos. If you don't have electricity, I'd consider these cameras. Downside is the power options: 16 Lithium AA batteries...

    Tractor Supply 18 chicken coop - how to seal the bare wood? Plus a few other ???

    Hello everybody! So I've been working on the chicken hut and run for a good while now. Things are going slowly as I'm a single handed sailor most of the time. Got vinyl coated HWC, 36" height, and did the 14-18" apron most all the way around. I attached the HWC to the exterior fence with hog...

    It'd be hard to read that screen from inside my house! Wow.

    Thanks for taking the time to give me some good tips. Anything I can do to improve and/or fortify the house will be done prior to moving the girls in. My first step was to use Flex Seal on the 4 metal trays to ward off rust from corrosion. I have Ready Seal to put on the wooden surfaces to...

    Using the optical illusion is brilliant! Will definitely be utilizing a version of this idea.

    Thank you for the info - some good advice there! I recognize it's not the mac daddy of design or materials, but it was a gift and I will make the most of it! I don't understand those trays over the nesting boxes at all; they must be to protect the laying boxes from the poop. (Engineer, every...
