We are in the process of building our second coop right now. All the materials for our coops is cull lumber and returned SOS materials and was bought at Lowe's where both of us work.
Cull lumber is wood that is bowed, bent or imperfect that most people don't want to use. If you put it outside and leave it in the weather (rain and humidity) a lot of the bows and bends come out. We paid 10 cents on the dollar for the wood. But to get that price you take whatever they have. If you work with them and take whatever they need to get rid of they give you a better price.
The windows and doors were returned special orders that get marked down lower and lower until it sells. I picked up 4 windows that were brand new for $150. I have a 8' picture window for our barn I got for $75. The 4 windows cost $800 retail and the 8' picture window was over $600.
Ask the Customer Service Associates at Lowe's, they really want to get rid of this stuff!
