I just build our first coop and I used the bedliner roll on stuff for the OSB to seal it .
Very interesting idea.
If you have any more thoughts on this process as it cures be good to know.
I'll have to check that out.
I like out of the box thinking like you did.
Thanks!
Yes but not the paper stuff. Some have used tar paper which is not a proper vapor barrier but this baeing a chicken coop which will not be sealed up like a house is then that might work to protect the OSB from water from the outside.
Tar Paper has been used for a very long time under siding...
I can use OSB for the outside IF I cover it with vapor barrier (that black paper stuff stapled up?) and then I can put a siding on that?
Yes, that is how it was designed to be used.
BTW. I caulked every angle. This will help with drafts.
Thanks for all the replies. After researching the osb website and other articles I had a good feeling what the answer would be but was hoping to find a few posts about people doing it anyway and their results. Thanks for those results good and bad!
Okiemommy, yes, I was thinking about Kilzs.
I...
Plan on having at least 2ft over hangs but I know wind can still drive in the rain.
Any of you seal with exterior primer and paint?
If so how is it holding up?
I have read their website and it is designed to get wet and dry out during the course of construction but they certainly aren't...
