We are seeking to build a permanent brooder box and would love to see inspiration. If y’all have any please let us know. We want plenty of room and something also convenient to clean!.
 
We have brooder boxes with a break away bottom just lift the board and poof clean but we do have to put cinder blocks under it to keep predators out.

I have two 24"x48"x24" boxes on caster wheels, each has one open end, a door and a 12"x48" flip top for top access, clipped together with two pieces of bent metal across the 2"x2" frame, which allows me to use a 1/4" board between the two for two brooders, and expand it to a 2'x8' as chicks get older. I can remove the metal clips and roll them out to completely dump the contents for a thorough cleaning. I can also remove them from my coop, because I didn't want to make them permanent fixtures so I don't know if this helps you at all.
