shed conversion

We converted our garden shed to a coop. It had built in shelves that became roosts and a poop board filled with SweetPDZ. We added a pre-built dog run next to it and cut a pop door between the two. I wish the run was a bit larger, I think next spring we may add a second one. The coop is...

Built 22 years for our girls play house. For the past 5 years it has been birdseed storage and a potting shed now it has at last found its purpose. Just waiting for the 5 porcelain D'Uccle and 4 Dominique's to get old enough to move in.

Hello everyone! Our coop is still under construction, but coming along nicely! I'll post updates as the project continues... Thanks for looking! Tammy We started with a prebuilt 8x12 shed from Old Hickory Buildings: Next, we purchased a vinyl flooring remnant, and sealed the edges. We...

This is a raised gun dog kennel that I built for my yellow lab almost 30 years ago. She passed on after 16 great years and a standard poodle took it over for a few years until he got a doggy door and decided his bed in the house was more comfortable. It is constructed of redwood and is rock...

My wife and I constructed this coop outside our Colorado home in spring 2013. We started with the well known Purina Mills Hen House design and worked from there. Like most folks we wanted to keep things as inexpensive as possible, while still not sacrificing functionality, durability, and...

I took someones trash and I turned it into my idea of a dream coop. It had to be a darling little house to look at from my kitchen window and it had to be equally as charming on the inside. It was on old old goat shed that sat out in a field in Oskaloosa Ks. It had seen better days. But...

I decided last year that I wanted chickens and I was surprised that my husband agreed. I did not want to spend a ton of money on this new venture of mine so I wanted to find ways to make this venture a reality without hurting our budget. The coop is 8'x 10' and the run is 10'x 16' We started...

The Chicken Shack I have been wanting chickens for quite a while now, but with my tiny, landscaped backyard, I just couldn't figure out how to do it. Then my wonderful, wonderful, dear husband came up with the most creative idea ever. We had a small wooden shed, 4'x8', that was primarily used...

Our project, shed to coop conversion! We are nearly done with the coop. The main open run is 12'x19', the enclosed coop is 10'x10' and there is a covered run area (9'X10') behind the coop that can be open to or closed off from the main run. Here is our quarantine pen and paddock. We...

Paddock's Lil'Coop I decided to build a little coop for Serama's. Most of my supplies except wire were left over materials that I already had including a small shed that I purchased for $20.00 a year ago. After drawing up a plan I gathered the shed and supplies needed to start building. *...
