Hollow closet doors, usable?

[Shellyb]

I am looking to make a small transition type coop for chicks that I can put a heat lamp in so they can be outside instead of in the house. Possibly used later for banty's. We have some hollow closet doors and I was wondering if they may be usable for this type of coop. Thanks for your advice.

Nope. Too lightweight. Just MHO--I wouldn't use them. Sorry!

Depends on where you are and if you are waterproofing them and how you are cleaning them up (when they are full of poo and dander)

Hollow core doors don't even hold up on the interior. The spacer that makes them hollow is corragated cardboard on edge, with cheap luaun veneer for the panel. All the paint and water proofing in the world won't stop them from falling apart.

Thanks, that's what I thought but just wanted to make sure before hubby puts them in the fire pit. Thanks again
