Looking for fence/building materials South Central KY

[shelleyd2008]

Hi there, I am finally getting my money from school, and need to start getting materials together for chicken tractors, dog kennels, and anything
else I think of building

I'm looking for a good amount of chain-link (for the dog kennels), some PVC pipe, wire or netting of some sort, plywood (or similar), and just about anything else!!

Let me know if you have any, or if you know where I can get some

I don't know, I'm wanting to make some chicken tractor runs from it, I don't know what size is needed for that? I've read so much on here, it kind of jumbles all together

As far as length, I'm wanting to make the tractors 8' long, so they would need to be at least that. I don't know about gauge or whatever else though, I'll check around (on BYC) and see what I can find out.

ETA: The tractors would be just for daytime, the birds would be locked in a coop at night

im at work getting ready to go through 1 1/2 pvc fittings , i can save thenm for you if you want them, they ma bea little large

Is that 1 1/2" diameter? That would probably be too big.

 

[cw]

Yeah, I'm thinking probably more like 1" diameter for the PVC.

ill keep my eyes peeled

After a bit of searching (a tiny bit

) I found that the grey electrical conduit is UV resistant. Lowe's has it for $1.12 for 10', and it is 3/4". So looks like I'll need 3/4" fittings, cause that is pretty cheap imo.

yea just make sure it aint pre notched to make even breaks, or it will break on real windy days other then that it sounds good
