Finishing Wooden Coop Floor

[Sexyraftguide]

Has anyone treated (painted, stained, etc.) the wooden floor of their chicken/duck coop? If so, what did you use and do you recommend it?

My recommendation is Black Jack 57 which is a rubberized waterproofing compound - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/black-jack-rubr-coat-57-for-your-coop-floor.75145/

Mine are painted with porch and floor paint. It's not AS waterproof but has served us well for a decade.

Agree, 2 coats.

I did the floor, 12" up the walls and my drop boards with it. Four years later I can clear away the PDZ on the boards and still find solid black; floor boards (I use deep bedding) have suffered through water spills in summer and winter, when I change the bedding floor almost what it was when new.

I used floor-crete, bought it at Walmart for $30 for the gallon. It's held up great for 3ish years

I put vinyl on mine....went up the sides about 6 inches. Working good so far.

What kind of wood?
Pics of coop?
What is your climate?


I used a good heavy duty foam backed vinyl, even with HC under it has been great for 10 years now.
