Coop roofing question

[bridgetchicken]

If my chicken coop is going to have transparent corrugated plastic panels as a roof, how can I cut it to fit the dimensions of my coop. Also I have a Honda accord so I can only fit only up to 4ft long objects in the back seat. What tool can I use to trim the panels in the parking lot of Home Depot?

But a set of straight cut shears. They are usually used for cutting tin. I just put these transparent corrugated panels on a green house top and that’s what I used. Worked great.

The following is a link to what I’m suggesting. Lowes, Home Depot or any hardware store will carry them.

Where do you live?

In any but the coldest climates a transparent-roofed coop is apt to turn into a rotisserie unless it's located in DEEP, all-day, all-year shade.

I agree. Maybe consider galvalume. Lighter than tin (galvanized). Easy to work with and comes in colors. Slightly cheaper than regular galvanized 5V or corrugated metal.

Home depot or lowes might deliver too. I think that'll be a little easier to cut the pieces to fit.

I used ryobi compact cutoff tool to cut policarbonate. It is compact and convinient

That being sad, HD delivery costs $79 . Combine the items you need, and it will save you a lot of time and trouble.

$19.95 to rent a truck from HD if you can be done in an hour or less
