Am i on the right track?

Online stores like Home Depot will show you a price in seconds. At mine, a metal panel is only like $1-2 more than the gray plastic one, it's cheaper than one of the other plastic ones they carry. To me that's a no-brainer to just use metal as I know it will last a lifetime in good conditions.

My metal panels are from a salvaged barn, they've gotta be at least 80yrs old at this point and still going strong.

Only one metal panel locally between lowes and homedepot and they are double the other in cost at $69 per. I'm trying to do d some reclaimed ones.

Dang, my local store has them at ~$36 for a 12ft panel. Good luck finding the used ones

Yeah that's for 8 footers.

I'm on an island in the Pacific that's only reachable by plane or boat so things get expensive. I'm betting it's cheaper on the mainland.

Being located on a pacific island….any option to use natural materials, such as a thatched roof from palm fronds? A lot of work but sounds so cool to have a palapa style coop

My neighbour fixed my draft issue by ripping down his fence yesterday! I just shaved off one of each side now everything overlaps by a 1/4 inch

Well so much for the palm tree idea, lol.
