The roof was my favorite part. I wanted a rusted old tin roof. With no luck on any reclaimed material I found a company in Georgia that will sell roofing "bare skin" that will rust very quickly. It was only $100 for the roof material. The shipping is was another story.

Can you seal the surface somehow after it gets the desired look? I would imagine those rust through pretty quickly otherwise. Maybe some car lacquer?

I think that would work but may need to be reapplied periodically.

There might be some clear products that are meant for that too.

Can you tell me how big your coop is? mine is gonna be 8x8, build starts this Sunday. I ask because we are gonna use ply wood for the walls but I'm not sure how I wanna finish it. I see you sealed over what I'm guessing is plywood (which grade did u use) then applied the pallet wood as siding, is that correct.? Also, what nails or screws did you use to apply the "siding" ?

I really like the look. I've already bought the paint for the wood so it wouldn't matter if I used a combo of new/old pallets, but, how many did your take (whole pallets I mean).

Thanks for sharing
