I was thinking of hanging the buckets but you correctly pointed out that the hoop coop is not load bearing. I was going to put the feeder and waterer on cement blocks, but perhaps a slightly taut bungee attached to the hoop could stabilize them a little.

Thanks for the clarification. I am planning on using two 5 gallon buckets for a waterer and a feeder, so I wouldn't need a pallet flat on the ground to attach them to.
I see now the flat boards you attached to the top edges of the pallets. All my pallets have openings between the slats, can...
I'm revisiting hoop coop builds such as yours for roost and door ideas. I have a couple questions for you:
1. What's the purpose of the pallet flat on the ground?
2. You mentioned that your pallet shelter was converted into roosts, how did you convert it?
Thanks! :pop:pop:pop
