I wouldn't call myself a carpenter thats for sure. I forgot to add I used strapping for the trim boards.

All that in 12 HOURS???

You should feel great about yourself! Ours took the better part of several months on Saturdays!

Here is what I did, I used a modified pvc green house design. The bottom half was already in place, but you could frame the arch on the ground also. Its not 100% done yet, I still have some spots to fence in. The dimensions are 8X13, plus the area under the coop

I'm liking the hoop house design more and more. I have been thinking of tring to keep a patch of grass open for the geese to graise on this winter. if I can make it tractor style then it will be easy to move it from patch to patch.

Looks great, I may look into the hoop design when we expand in the future

Hello! We usually go to Home Depot, and the one near us has a cart of "Culls" We bought all of our 2x4's and 2x6's at a very reduced price, and they are cut, so most were the exact 4 foot lengths we needed and it fits in my volkswagon! The pieces were .51 each! It is the hardware cloth that will break our budget! Good luck! I admire your industry! ~Ally

Why do you have chicken wire underneath the wood floor? Just wondering...
