Hi everyone,

Wanted to post some photos of the Rubbermaid 7X7 shed conversion. Also installed the chicken guard automatic door.

Oh, wow.... NICE! Those sheds probably cost an arm and a leg though!

On Sale at Home Depot for $499. Not cheap but custom purchased coops or any durability were much more.

nice. $499 its a great price, did you have to get a town permit to set it up?
I would love one of those.

I did not need to get a permit where I live.

That is a very nice setup!

Watch the roof panels. We had one lose those in the wind

Nice!
I’m not handy at all but you gave me a great idea. I’m getting one of those sheds for the winter. A much smaller chicken coop can run twice as much. Thanks for sharing. It won’t be as nice as yours but better than what I have. I was emptying my shed to put my two chickens for the winter and moving all the stuff to the garage. It’s a lot of work to do that back and forth every year.

Nice conversion

What’s the benefit of having the feeder and waterer in the henhouse as apposed to to the run?

Looks good , but not loving the ladder roost .
Did you round the edges of the wood ? They will have to be perching in the sharp edge of the wood with the angle of the perch .... just thinking like a chicken
