Hello! Welcome! Well, aren't you super frugal I am the same way. I made my little coop for almost free. Bought the osb for the roof, shingles, and wire. Everything else was left over from other projects or scrimped and scrounged from various locations. Mine is much smaller than yours but I am proud of it! Notice the feather explosion Gotta love molting season! This is the day I finished putting the 12g welded wire over the 1/4" hardware cloth. A large attached run is in the works, also. Scrimping and scrounging for those materials currently

I also love getting free materials! My main coop is built entirely from wood recycled from shipping crates that were used to ship large machinery to the place I work. I only had to buy the plywood for the floors and roof. That's a great idea about getting large pallets from garage door installers, I'll have to make a few phone calls!

I'm looking forward to when I can retire and spend my days working on my favorite hobbies.

Thanks for the welcome, glad to know I am not the only one who likes to recycle wood that would otherwise go to waste(plus I am frugle, my husband thinks I am nuts, but it is what I do. Coop is almost done and will post a photo soon, just installed siding, wood on top half
And corregated tin on the bottom, from a farmer in our area who tore down a shed. Free, just my style.
