PVC coops

[tny_villegas]

I want to build a pvc coop, i wanted to see some pics to get some ideas. Also how is the chicken wire attached?

 

[CajunTinMan]

I have seen them attached with zip ties

 

[DuckMan50]

zip ties will rot if left in the sun

if you use the black UV zip ties you will be good to go.

hi, painting didnt work for us, but we are in southern New Mexico where it is dry and hot.

but i've found that the metal times for chain link works very well.

good luck

If you write "pvc coops" at the search window (up right) you´ll find information. I did it and was great.

I made a PVC playpen for my chicks when they were still very young.
I used zip ties to fasten the chicken wire onto it.
I attached Deer Netting across the top to keep them from flying out.
I still use it today for my little Seramas that can't mingle with the big chickens (because the Serama rooster picks fights with all my other roosters).

Although one is quite complex, I think that the designer of these has some genius:

If I made a pvc pen, I would make nesting boxes from 5-gal containers and use this on the front:
