Great shopping trip, nest box ?

[Ruralhideaway]

So I finally give up on making a nice bank of real nest boxes from stuff I already have and went to buy plywood. What I have now I'm just not happy with. Going scrounging in my loft is no fun when it's zero outside, better to be ready to work quick.

And OMG!!! I scored the best deal.

Polycarb roof panels, 26" x 12 feet. 8 bucks each. Like these...

Special order never picked up. So my birds will definitely be getting a covered run section in the addition I'm doing. So happy to have that piece of the puzzle solved affordably.

Now to figure out how to frame it. Haven't really abandoned the cattle panel ideas yet. But there's time to ponder before spring.

We have that over our run. It is great stuff! Congrats on getting a great deal!

I'm using some to enclose my current run for winter, very nice sunroom effect using it as walls. But that's all becoming coop wirh a bigger run getting added. I've been really bummed thinking about having to shovel the run next winter. Now that will become optional.

I used those panels on the roof of my hoop coop made with cattle panels. Check out my building thread, Helpful Hints for Building coops.

Sweet!!

IKR!? but, you still may have to remove snow from roof panels, to relieve snow load weight and to get sun light...plan ahead how to do that.
