Old Swing set frame

[THough1956]

Anyone have any ideas on turning an old metal swing set frame into an A Frame Chicken House. Ideas for attaching wood and hardware cloth?

I guarantee you it can be done! I would have to think about it and then start work on it to know what would be done but you can do it, I am sure! Be sure to keep us posted on how you progress. I would love to see all the ideas and construction.
Great idea. Wish I still had our old one now.......guess I will start asking friends if they want to get rid of theirs.

Will do, thanks.

It appears that you could do it just like all the A-Frame Tractors you see. It would just be a lot bigger and no wheels. Just not sure how to attach the framing to the metal. Umm, my brother work for a steel company. Maybe he could get me some braces built.

I will have to think on this one.

You all are supose to be giving me ideas!!!

Here is what I did. I did it fast though as my older chicks needed more grass and had already eaten all in their original area. Wish I could move this one too.

The black part is part of a trampline. It provides lots of shade and seems to keep most rain out. It was raining this morning and the inside of the run was dry. The hardware cloth isnt part of it, just sitting by it till I use it next.
