    Building my coop - need advice on materials !

    Hi @EggSighted4Life :frow Thank you for the advice ! As I said I'm leaning towards the LP multi-use panel (but I probably change my mind about 10 times a day ) for the exterior, possibly the roof (as claudiabostic suggested). I'm trying to figure out if I can also use it for the floor. I have...

    I'd like to hear the story behind your coop name (I'm French) :D

    I'm leaning towards the LP Multi-Use panels from Lowe's, is that something I can also use for the floor or should I look for something else (probably plywood ?)

    Did you use the same panel for the roof ?

    So the plan is to put a fence around the coop (right now it's open, but I don't want to free range). So they will have a large run. I can easily add an area within the fence with a cover for them.

    Great thank you ! I think I'm going to skip the insulation and double walls, seems like I don't really need it. It will make the build easier and less expensive. What kind of cover ? Do you have examples ?

    I'll stick to chickens for the moment, so that sounds good :) Thank you all for all the advice ! I should have asked long before, this is really helpful

    I see, that shouldn't bee to hard to modify. I'm assuming we're only talking about bringing the floor down, the nesting boxes would stay where they are on the plans right (so about 18 inches from the ground) ? Or should I also lower the boxes so it's easier for the chickens to go in there ?

    I'll keep that in mind for my second project. We didn't want to start too big since we have not much experience (in both building stuff and taking care of chicken). We have room to add more in the future so I'm not too worried at the moment !

    I have zero experience, that's why I'm asking 😂

    Here you have a better view at the nesting boxes size - do you think this is too big ?
