Aha! I get it. I missed the point that this was in Great Britain! I’ve not seen panels before, only rolls. I chose 1/2 inch because it’s a thicker gauge wire than 1/4 inch. I had used 1/4 in a previous setup and a couple of months later needed to make some adjustments. In the process I discovered it was easy to rip through. I can’t say I remember if it was galvanized. Panels would be so much easier to work with!

So I just ordered a shed.

Can't find the link now since my dad ordered it, but I'll try find it later.
It's very similar to a shed we already have, good quality and 10yr anti-rot guarantee!

Yes it's going inside the run. The roof of the coop is going to go up to 2m tall

Hi I made a small coop out of a 3 tier pallet used for shipping plants. I closed the sides in with barn board tongue n groove. The front is ply wood with 2 level doors. 3 chickens and a goose fit nicely and safely at night.hardware cloth at back and front top for ventlation. Inside is opened up so chickens roost on top level and goose on bottom .half of 2nd level open so chickens can fly up to roost.will attach photo if anyone is interested.pallet was free . Plywood and barn board weren't too expensive.

Good luck. I tried to rip apart two pallets a couple of weeks ago and the supports in the middle were the only three pieces that were salvageable. I pretty much destroyed the rest of the slats. :/

Best way I’ve seen to disassemble pallets.
