Hello all! I’m hoping for some guidance as I begin building a more permanent run area for my three geriatric, special needs chicken friends I recently brought in. They have a prefab coop that I would like to place inside of a run. I have no build experience and just obtained run plans for a 6x12’ space.
It does not account for securing the structure to the ground; is it necessary/recommended to bury the 4x4 corner posts into the ground? We are in Central Oregon - high desert climate with four seasons of weather. Very sandy soil.
My other question is around lumber choices. I’m thinking I should go pressure treated with either all, or just the parts that will make ground contact. Does that sound like next practice?
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
