Great Idea for cheap coop!!!(only 10 bux for building)

[can you hear me now?]

Here is the coop i almost built.

What I did was buy a moving crate from a place here in town. The dimensions are 7' tall by 7' long by 4' wide. I promised I would post these and now here they are. Not pretty but cheap and easy to do. if you anted more space then you just screw 2 or three of em together and put a slanted roof on it.

Thanks, I wanted to find a way to make one really cheap. The original run was actualy very small. Only about four by seven. I made it from saplings i needed to take down on my property and let it dry for about a year before I even got the initiative to get the othr parts.

a MOVING CRATE!!!!
Ingenius! I wish I would have thought of that....just the lumber alone would have made it worth it....

Fantastic thinking....and I'd take easy, cheap, and functioning over cutesy any day!

If you go down commercial past the hatchey towards 32 and buffalo and all that, there is a moving place on the right side of the road. They don't always have the crates but I usually see some out there. These are the crates they use to move things from and to Fort Wood. Oh and btw
