Metal bed frame into coop

[Tiredmommyof8]

Has anyone taken a Montessori style metal house shaped bed frame and turned it into a chicken coop? I am looking for inspiration. I currently have 1 of these the size of a twin bed and desire to enclose some of it (if not all) for a house with nesting boxes. The plan is to add another soon to extend the run.

I just saw one where someone took the wooden roof off of a playhouse and incorporated that as the roof to their coop, meaning, if you put your mind to it, anything can be done.

1/2" hardware cloth used as your fence around it would secure them from varments plus make it more sturdy.

Chickens need one nesting box for every four chickens, so maybe some of the space could be used for something else?

It's also not built for the elements, so I think I'd get some rustoleum or outdoor paint to cover it.

It could be cool! Neat idea!
