My 4' x 4' pallet coop

[RollinWithTheStones]

So far this is what I have, if I'm done and I'm pleased with it I might just need to make one for my bunny

I started by gathering up some pallet scraps that the local yard leaves out for free

Then I layered them to make the base

Attached two boards on the side

Here is what I have done so far the base and one side, I have to go back and get more boards to finish the other two sides.

I will be making the back to hinge down for easy cleaning and attaching a run. So far everything I have used we've gotten for free including the chicken wire.

Looks great. Although, you might want to use hardware cloth vs chicken wire. Chicken wire can easily be torn down by just about any predator.

Good luck finishing the coop.

Hmmm, I'll look into that, I use chicken wire for my rabbit run and she lives out there 9 months out of the year. I have enough to double of if need be and also have this plastic covered wire (it's 2 inch by 2 inch squres used for insides of fences) I could also put that on the outside.

Cool. I'm attempting my own pallet coop as soon as DH gets one more from his workplace. We have the big kind, 51 inches x 100 inches, but I'm going to cut them in half. Looking forward to updates on yours

Wow that is a big pallet! I wish I had yard for that, imagine all the girls you can store in it.

I was able to go pick up more wood so I could finish another wall and part of the front wall. I assure you it looks better in person than it does in the pics.

I am working on pallet coops too. Can't wait to see yours finished.
