I have a question. I have tiny hoops for raised beds, btw I also did the frame and then tried to bend to fit. Took hours!) I want 2 hoop coops. One for roos and one for hens. Trying to save space. I can't afford the panels and have no way of even transporting any. I see them on CL all the time, but never in my price range. So I'm looking to make both from the PVC and HC.
My question really is lighting. I want to put lights out there, but I only have one plce to get juice from. Have any of you used the christmas lights like in the panel hoops on a PVC hoop with tarps? I'm just trying to figure out what to do that's safe. I'll hve to have my coops really close to take advantage of an extension cord, but I want to make sure I I don't catch it on fire or electrocute (sp) someone or something. Also are the roosts free standing?
