Siding for Coops

[kairosdreaming]

Anyone have a suggestion on good cheap siding for a coop? We definitely need it as there are small gaps between panels but I don't want to break the bank either (the initial body cost more than expected, but the chickens are worth it). I was thinking adobe siding, has anyone tried that before?

How big is your coop?

10 ft vinyl panels are $7 at Home Depot.

I was fortunate enough to have scraps from my house under the porch.

It's 8 by 10 by 8 minus windows and the door.

Scan craigslist to see what you can find. If I was doing it again, I would use concrete siding - I love that stuff. Easy to clean and does not go bad ever.

Thanks to the both of you. I'd post pictures if I could but I haven't been a member long enough

I use the 4x8 sheets of knotty barn siding that Lowe's sells its about $18.00 a sheet, sometimes they have it intheir cull lumber pile at a reduced price.

I love the idea about the barn siding.

What is concrete siding? Is that the sheets that concrete texture that go on like wallboard? I saw something on line like that from a company called Moderra, but I have no idea where to get it and it looks kind of pricey. But it sure looks cool.

Thanks for the additional ideas. Here's a pic of what I'm working with (I can finally post them, yay!) in case that changes the opinions. Thanks!

in this case, 4x8 knotty barn siding seems a good idea. I tried to find it at my Lowe's and could not.
