Hi everyone
We got a used coop. We are so excited, but it needs some changes. There are walls, but we removed them for lighter transportation. Are these paints okay to use? Should we sand then paint? We need to build nesting boxes , roost, and cover some ventilation. Should we put some type of...
Thank you for the detailed replied! I saw a coop maker in town use RV coating and wanted to know if good idea. Hoping to make a good coop our first time :)
Hello
Still planning our first coop! Can you just paint your coop roof plywood with silicone RV roof coating to make them waterproof? would 1/2inch plywood be good enough for whole coop?
Hi
We plan to build a coop using old fence panels and new plywood.
Do we need to paint and stain everything? Or just do one? Would you stain then paint?
How about inside?
Is it better to do it before building the coop?
Thank you 😊
Sounds great! I'll try it with a screwdriver tomorrow! I'm getting excited, because I also found a whole bunch of really long 4x4 post! It could be good for the run.
Thanks for all the great tip! I looked at the panels again. The are wet and spider webs between them. Not good? I found other wood too. And suggestions?
Thank you. We want to house 5 chickens, but I've heard they are addicting so might make it big enough for 10 chickens. I measured the panels yesterday. They were 4 feet long.
Would get new plywood for floor, save money using some of these fence panels for siding would be great!
Hello
Can I use wood panels from our old fence as siding? We want to build a chicken coop and have this old wood around. Or at least use some maybe on roof with metal sheets?
I would repaint and stain them first.
Would free pallets be safe to use?
Or better to purchase new plywood...
