I acquire free wood. Be it pallets, fence, furniture elements; in the alleys, on the Craigslist, friends, roadside, neighbors. I'm not exactly sure what I'll do with it at the time, but man hands gotta handle, and creators gotta create. I originally let my backyard chickens build and...

...box in the old cabinet coop. So I started researching cheap yet sturdy coop builds.....I kept wondering if a person could build a coop outta pallets. The answer is why yes, yes you can. So I drove down by my local co-op discard pile and wow did I score....3 huge stacks of pallets to pick...

On May 15th, 2022 my husband and I were taking apart pallet racks we had collected from our local garden center. They put them out by the road for free. We had decided to get some to make raised garden beds. As I was standing there looking at the last rack to be disassembled, I told my husband...

We needed to move our coop for a new septic system. My husband has access to free pallets at work so we started from there to build our open air style coop. My chickens free range so a run isn't really needed for us. To start I got some cinder blocks leveled to place the pallets on top of. This...

We just finished a coop we built from pallets, reclaimed wood, and free siding. The small details are still coming together, but I am happy with it so far. Includes: External nest boxes nest box curtains (will add tie backs to open up the boxes when hens are of laying age) Astroturf lined...

I figured I'd post this to share, in case anyone else wants an inexpensive run ideas. I took pallets and screwed them into each other. I also reinforced each seam by screwing a 1x8 into the ends of two pallets butted up against each other. I screwed the ends of the fence into my existing coop...

...a coop for your chickens, but on a tight budget fret not! You can save a LOT of money building your own coop, more especially if you use pallets in your coop construction. Although it does take time and work to take the pallets apart, in the end, it literally can you save you hundreds of $$$...

...a beefer coop for our new batch of chickens. The neighbor has a machine shop in his garage and he has what could easily be the worlds biggest pallets!! It took some effort to disassemble them, but well worth it. I wasn't exactly sure of the floor plan. My dad and I sat down and did some crude...

Wooden Pallet Mini Coop The wooden pallet mini coop is designed to be budget friendly, easy to build, and house 2-3 chickens or grow out young chicks. Other than having a few chickens for a short time as a child, I first started out with chickens about 3 years ago. Our home at the time had a...

...from the back corner of the lot. My answer was a combination of salvage items, with rocks and landscape blocks as a base, and oak pallets standing on them, with 24" of chicken wire on top of that. The door is just some 2" pvc tubing with 4 fittings and a "frame and panel" of 2x4 wire...

I thought some of you may be interested in seeing the coop I designed and built using old pallets. I'm petty handy so after looking at too many coop plans to count I decided to design and build my own incorporating the features I wanted for my small flock of 4-7 chickens. For starters, I wanted...

...at 8:52 AM This is a picture of my coop made from recycled materials. I used an old swing set stand for the base and covered the sides with pallet boards. The paint is an old can of deck stain. Its main purpose was for housing chickens in the summer. Not pictured are the stairs (which...

I loved our coop from the local farm store.. but it just wasn't big enough. I decided I needed to make my own. It's 25 feet long and 8 ft wide. I used pallets. I set a $250 budget. I spent most of it in roofing and door.

:D We started our coop in the summer of 2015 it's an ongoing family project. We used a mix of pallets , treated and untreated lumber, and recycled materials . There is an amish mini barn place nearby us that had 4'x14' pallets that they receive their vinyl siding on. They normally burn them...

look how ugly it was my fav part was skid/pallet roof "porch" and that I can collect eggs feed and water without stepping in poop! Our daughter had fun designing and painting all the fun signs and since it has been finished it has turned into HER serama saloon for breeding frizzled serama...

...chicken coop, I really didn't think that he'd agree to it as easily as he did! We were fortunate enough to know someone who gets 8ft (approx.) pallets on a weekly basis. They were very happy to give them to us as they have to burn them and that's more work for them, than giving them away! We...

...Almanac, My Pet Chicken, Foxfire books, This Old House, “Captain Google“ and anything I could get to. Then I set about collecting shipping pallets and wood and crates and nails and screws and everything else I could find. And stacked it as neatly as I could in the back yard....which point...

...that my neighbors Jason and Brian helped me build in April of 2014. I was lucky enough to receive the majority of the materials including the pallets, windows and cedar shakes from Jason. I have about $250 invested in the OSB, plywood and hardware. The interior space is approximately 6'x10'...

...at one time had an above ground pool so it already had a base level of sand as well. Our son He has this coop building down! I stood the pallets a little different than most. Using a scissor car jack I popped off enough boards to cover all the gaps give it a real barn siding look...
