Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[piglett]

Second hand corrugated iron is very cheap and plentiful around here- just about every building is made out of it.
You don't seem to use it so much in the US perhaps because of your cold winters?
I had a new roof put on my house a couple of months ago, so I had a whole house roof load of tin to build chook houses out of.

i was given a large pile of the stuff for free (over a ton)

so far i have put it on 2 of my coops & my woodshed

it had already been used a couple of times but it was very heavy gauge

probably dating back to WW2

the flock didn't say they cared about it being old & i'm sure they enjoy being kept dry all winter

i put mine down with screws so the wind can't remove it.

thats made out of really light pallet wood.

its the boss' stool but sometimes doubles as a ladder lol

the corrugated iron in the phils is ridiculously thin.

Quote: you are correct, however it would be perfect to use on our big old wood shed as roofing and then I can use pallets underneath, so far I have found rolled roofing our cheapest roofing material But one day I hope to run into someone ditching some off a barn, thats why I have the CL search up

Do you mean the black material that goes on underneath shingles? How do you use it? How long will it last?

Quote: Rolled roofing is made of the same stuff that Shingles are.... Its usually chosen for very low pitched roofs. Its a bit thinner than shingles but has the same surfaces. Pretty quick to put up too.
