linoleum over OSB for floor

[antheat]

How do you install the linoleum over the OSB floor of the chicken coop so you don't have water damage if you want to hose it out?

I'm building a hoop house coop using cattle panels so it will be 8 x 12 in size.

How do you install the linoleum over the OSB floor of the chicken coop so you don't have water damage if you want to hose it out?

I'm building a hoop house coop using cattle panels so it will be 8 x 12 in size.

My floor are planks with a layer of tin for rodent proofing. On top of the tin I have a piece of vinyl flooring cut one foot longer than the length and width of my coop (roughly). Six inches squares are cut out of the 4 corners of the vinyl flooring. This allows the friction fitted flooring to travel up the walls six inches around the perimeter of my 4x8 salvaged metal coop. Shovel out the heavy stuff into a wheel barrow. Pop out the vinyl flooring hose it off pop it back in. I recently cut my flooring into 3 mats makes things easier to get in and out of the coop.
Easy Peasy!

I used plastic quarter round to seal the edges of the linoleum. I think it's the same material as PVC (?) and is waterproof. It's been great. I can use the jet setting on the hose and just blast the floor of the coop clean.

If you're really worried about water seepage use a plastic floor liner under the linoleum - and maybe run both the liner and linoleum up the sides a few inches.

I used caulking all the way around the bottom, it sealed it up nicely.
