Any ideas on what I can use this for?

[Iluveggers]

We are cleaning out the basement, and before I throw anything made of wood out, wondered if you haany ideas on how this would be useful in my coop or run? It used to hold TV trays. Should I toss it?

I also found an old kitchen cabinet with no doors I’m going to make nesting boxes out of!

Thanks!

How tall is that TV tray thing? If you could stabilize the base I bet they'd fly up on it. Or lie it sideways if it's too tall so they have a longer, lower roost to play around on?

Weight the legs and add two more horizontal bars where the tv trays used to fit or even hang sort of feeder/treat ball off it somewhere.

I’m also thinking to stabilize the bottom and make a feed/water station bc you can add roof/cover/protection from the elements if a feeder, using the structure that is there. Otherwise, stabilize the base, add a platform on the horizontal arms and they can fly up to the platform or to the uppermost handle.

Lucky you. What a find!

Thanks guys! I was thinking it was too short too roost on, but you’re right I could add longer bars where the trays would go. It’s about 3 feet high. I also like the idea of a feeder station! I was drawing blanks when I looked at it since the top piece is barely over a foot long & not enough roost space. Thanks again for your ideas!

If you can't find a good use for it now, take it apart so it's easy to store. You'll eventually think of something. I love reusing stuff like that, and I get the most satisfaction from it when I find that perfect fit. Sometimes it takes a decade or two, lol!

Good find!!! I love the like minded imaginations of chicken folk. Throw nothing of potential value away. I 'see' a coop/run use for every scrap of waste from building our house. I fear I may soon be featured on an episode of hoarders, but what's a gal to do?

We finally got around to cleaning the basement & shed, & there are so many cool things! Also feels good to let go of stuff I know we won’t use (badly cracked garden pots, rusting metal, broken hula hoops).
