Would it be a good idea to put up some foam board insulation on the celing in my chicken coop? It's just a tin roof.

WELCOME RUSTY!!
I just bought some for mine today, but ran out of light doing other yard duties to get it in today... I am going to use 1 1/2" closed cell foam (Used to be blue, now all I can find is purple/pink colored) in the floor and roof of mine...

I think it will make a big difference, personally.

I have been told to keep it out of reach OR cover it as they will peck it... I doubt its good for them.

Thanks.
My coop's 4x8 so it shouldent be hard to put a foam board in it. Don't have any chickens yet but i'm getting ready for them in the spring.

I'll be doing the same thing. If only to keep the condensation down over the winter, it will have been worth it.

It's all the rage out here to buy the heavy gauge zinc-sandwiched corrugated metal and intentionally rust it for roofing. I've even seen regular corrugated used as paneling and siding indoors. It's classy!

We used tin on our new building. We found that the silver color was not popular compared to the reds and green and we got a better price. We also found that this thicker, wider metal with a great protective finish was actually no more expensive than buying the thinner tin from lowes.

We used rough 2x6 for framing then just soild poplar "nailer" boards and it worked great!

Tin is my friend.

Inside you can see the top and back wall.
