painted or unpainted coop

[erindubb]

I am wondering if I should keep my coop unpainted or paint it. Is there pluses to having it painted or just asthetic?

If it's untreated materials, it will last longer if painted, and be easier to clean

I painted the outside to keep it nice with all the harsh weather. I lined the inside with laminate rolled counter top. It is very thin an pliable. That way, when they poop on the walls (which they do when they roost) I can take a broom and water and scrub it off. Works like a charm.

A gallon of paint that was "oops" when doing the color mixxing for a few dollars, is time and money well spent

Unpainted inside and out! I decided to go with cedar to avoid having to do this and It's totally fine to spray down!

Depend on the wood. Cedar is fine untreated, but you'll get a longer life if you use a water seal.

If it good wood just seal it, but if it is just cheap wood paint, IMHO. Sealing or painting can help with odor remaining after cleaning. Also makes it easier to scrub the walls.

Paint it. Lasts longer and look cuter.
