DYarbro97's Coop Build (Witchita Inspired)

[DYarbro97]

So after looking through thousands of coop pictures I got my idea in my head on how I want mine to look. Before I get the song and dance on using pallets, cause of what could be wrong with them, the ones I got are heat treated and brand new. I am trying to build this for as little as possible so pallets from work were the cheapest option. As of now I have about 300$ total invested into it since I am using screws and concreting all my post. I plan on using hardware cloth on all the openings. Any thoughts or opinions are accepted. Now on to the build.............


Here is the area I decided to build








Platform Started (pallets and used fence post for free)






Trusses made from more pallets (free)








Roof Decking from used fence panels (free)








Roof "dried in"






Cedar Shake Roof ($100)






Walls Put up




Nesting boxes




Here is the building "inspector" taking a break

Cleaning door with another window


Added some Redwood Stain to give it a old red barn look.









Hopefully I will get the hardware cloth this week and have it installed next weekend
