Grow out coop using a plastic skid

[Kiniska]

Here is the first one I started. It still needs a little more trim and paint. It will be blue and white when totally finished.

So far we have less than 60.00 in this coop. Most of that is hardware and screws. Almost all the wood, besides a few 2x4s is reclaimed from crates, scrap, and pallets that were one time use for medical equipment.

LOVE the red one, but I bet the blue will be dazzling too!

Awesome job!

Kiniska, I love lotus flowers, You're doing a great job recycling/repurposing. Also like how you don't have to do much painting.

Thanks guys! I was hesitant about using skids at first because of all the scary things I have read. Then one of the doctors at work pointed out medical equipment has to come in new wood. And that wood cannot have all the chemicals that are put on regular pallets. I am sealing it all with deck paint/ stain just in case.

One down three coops to go!
