Hello everyone,
After discovering the BYC, I planned for a few months then I finally decided to set out and build the best coop I could for about $200... over my winter break from college in mid-December of 2009. I finally got some pictures uploaded. I think I need some help with roofing though. We had about 22" of snow in the big blast over the last couple of weeks and my run is a tad distorted, so I also thought of perhaps using a tarp elevated at one end to cover my run. [ideas?] It's sealed for now with Thompson's water seal but I'm not sure what material would be cheap to use for the coop's roof[?] Anyone have any economical ideas? I was thinking of perhaps rubber roofing, tarpaper and/or shingles, or something like that if I can find it at Home Depot. I would appreciate any ideas and general b/s is always appreciated.
Be sure to click on the images to view them larger, my thumbnails came out pixelated.
