I am starting my goose "coop" and would love to see what others have done with theirs.

I am going on tuesday to pick up a 10x10' dog kennel. This will be used when they are not able to free-range (which wont be often at all lol) It is only $35, it is missing the links to connect the sides, but there are ways around that. I figure its a start

And I will be building a structure of some sort to lock them in at night..

I want to see what ya got!!

How many geese are we talking about??? If you put an extra large dog house in there with nice bedding that should be all they need depending on number of geese. If they are sebs you want to probably cover the top at least partially over the top of the dog houses and maybe around one end on the sides. Most geese don't give a rats patootie about cold wet weather but I notice mine looking to lay up next to the house during the worst high wind storms for shelter from the wind that keeps trying to knock them on their fannies. I use dog runs here for my birds as well...works great and I only WISH I could get them that cheap- course then my food bill would double LOL. I use a 5 gallon bucket for water takes up little room and holds alot of water that they can easily drink but not play in. A lower bucket attached to the fence can hold their food (they knock over food bowls unless they are attached to something or really heavy).
 
It'll be 2 Africans...for now anyway

Today, I had someone offer me 6 10'Lx6'H sections, and 3 or 4 5'Lx6'H pieces, and a a gate section.. FOR FREE!!! I'm thinking the 6' high will be better for them(the other was only 4ft high)...not to mention..it is $35 less!

And with the extra pieces, it'll be much bigger, so I can fit their pool inside, so on the days that I can't let them out, they will still be able to swim...
 
my geese decided that the chicken coop is the place to be. Works for me and the chickens don't seem to mind.
