Tractor construction (updated pic)

[Lu King]

I wish I was one of those women who could build something like this...or had a husband who could.

There is a place in a small town not too far from where we live that sells rocks and such....they are now selling chicken tractors. They are probably too expensive though, but look good, but not as good as some that I have seen on here.

Jermbubba,

It just occurred to me that you MIGHT want to add some 2x4 "gussets" to the inside corners of the base (2x4 foundation) to keep the base from "loosening-up" after a time as a result of moving it.

just a thought,

Yeh its definitely a trade off.. you can buy one premade but they cost a ton. but it will save you a ton of time and sweat. So its a tough decision to make.

Thanks so much. It is painted to match my home. I took a photo into the store and they scanned it and made the paint the same color. it comes pretty close. The arches are PVC pipes. I debated about painting them green too. but i think i like it the way it is.
