Check this Ohio coop ad out...

I didn't notice the framing thing... I wouldn't think it would hold up AT ALL.

I didn't even notice that before...you are right... I guess you usually get what you pay for.

I probably will build another one myself anyway...when the time comes..

I think it is cute!

Take the time to check it out, though. There may be some good design points you want to use.

You might be able to use it as a base model you can pimp out!

I saw that it's been on craigslist for awhile or they just relisted it. Hubby wanted me to buy it a couple of weeks ago when they listed it. It is a good deal but wasn't what I was looking for.

It is what it is. I don't like the fact that the roofing is horizontal and in Ohio you would be looking at snow build up. I too think it needs siding but I wouldn't put barnboard siding because the framing is not there. I would put some T-111 or something in a 4x8 sheet. Keep in mind by the time you do that and stain or paint it you would be looking at doubling the original cost.

good price. i've got a shed that's 10 years old with osb and I just stained it forest green back then. Its held up great here in vermont. Our new coop, same deal, osb with barn red stain. watch out for shipping. Cost and shipping could be way more thandoing it yourself.

Nice to meet ya Vanessabuffsnsilkies.
We went to the fair on the first and last day. I wanted to buy a pair of Hamburgs but when we saw the condition they were in on the last day of the fair that was out. Some of those chickens were pulling out their feathers and some couldn't even stand on there feet. It was so sad.
