PALLET COOP

That'll be so fun to paint to highlight it's owlness!

Very nice work I admire the patience. Pallets usually irritate me when I try. You conquered them!

You would not believe how much study has gone into making pallet nails resistant to pulling out of the runner. There has even been a university study to analyze the angle of the spiral flutes and the depth of the flutes to make them harder to pull out. Yes I used to work in a nail factory...

Thanks. Yeah they have definitely been a challenge. I'll be happy when I'm done piecing them together to get the right height out of them.

Finally got some more stuff done but only have a couple pictures to show.Got the roof put on (changed plans and did a shingled roof and am going to put the PVC corrugated sheets over the run...well most of it.

Got the run done and most of it wired up.

Next up is going to be to laminate floor inside the coop and put the roost in. Then it's finishing the nest box as well as putting the pvc roof on and finish with the HC. Getting there! Only a month to go

That's going to be one sturdy coop! My pallet coop has taken sustained 60 mph wind, a butt ton of snow and every critter imaginable has tried to break in and the coop is absolutely fine. That pallet wood is no joke!
